Fascinating and diverse, savanna ecosystems support a combination of pastoral and agropastoral communities alongside wild and domestic herbivores that can be found nowhere else. This diversity has made the study of these areas problematic. Ecosystem Function in Savannas: Measurement and Modeling at Landscape to Global Scales addresses some of the d

Table of contents: 

• Introduction. Savannas: Ecological and Human Perspectives
  – Sets the stage, probably discussing the definition of savannas, their global importance, and how humans interact with them.

• Carbon, Water and Trace Gas Fluxes in Global Savannas
  – Focus on the biogeochemical cycles, especially how savannas contribute to or mitigate climate change through carbon and water exchanges.

• Remote Sensing of Biophysical and Biochemical Characteristics in Savannas
  – Discusses how satellite and aerial data are used to monitor vegetation, soil moisture, and other key indicators in savanna ecosystems.

• Perspectives on Patch to Landscape Scale Savanna Processes and Modeling
  – Looks at how savannas function at different spatial scales, from small plots to entire regions, and how these are represented in models.

• Regional and Continental Scale Remote Sensing Applications in Savanna Systems
  – Probably more case studies or methodologies for scaling up remote sensing data to broader regions.

• Continental and Global Scale Models of Savanna Biomes
  – Focuses on large-scale modeling, possibly for climate forecasting, land-use planning, or ecological monitoring.

• Understanding Savannas as Coupled Human-Natural Systems
  – Explores the interactions between human societies and savanna environments—land use, agriculture, fire management, etc.
