摘要: Aims To use the ecosystem on Green Mountain, Ascension Island, to illustrate aspects of construction and function as well possible mitigation human caused global environmental change. Location tropical south Atlantic. Main conclusions The cloud forest Mountain is a man-made system that has produced without any coevolution between its constituent species. This implications for way we think about ecosystems provides striking example Janzen's idea ‘ecological fitting’. services, such carbon sequestration, illustrates role in warming.
