The biology of grasslands / Brian J. Wilsey (2018)  

Public ISBD Titre : The biology of grasslands Type de document : livre Auteurs : Brian J. Wilsey, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2018 Collection : The biology of habitats Importance : 195 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-874452-8 Prix : 39.99 GBP Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Grasslands  Biology  Ecology  Biodiversity  Climate change  Conservation  Restoration Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : This accessible text provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of global grasslands. Grasslands are vast in their extent, with native and non-native grasslands now covering approximately 50% of the global terrestrial environment. They are also of vital importance to humans, providing essential ecosystem services and some of the most important areas for the production of food and fibre worldwide. It has been estimated that 60% of calories consumed by humans originate from grasses, and most grain consumed is produced in areas that were formerly grasslands or wetlands. Grasslands are also important because they are used to raise forage for livestock, represent a source of biofuels, sequester vast amounts of carbon, provide urban green-space, and hold vast amounts of biodiversity. Intact grasslands contain an incredibly fascinating set of plants, animals, and microbes that have interested several generations of biologists, generating pivotal studies to important theoretical questions in ecology. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis is on the organisms that dominate this environment although restoration, conservation, and experimental aspects are also considered.

The biology of Mediterranean-type ecosystems / Karen J. Esler (2018)  

Public ISBD Titre : The biology of Mediterranean-type ecosystems Type de document : livre Auteurs : Karen J. Esler, Auteur ; Anna L. Jacobsen, Auteur ; R. Brandon Pratt, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2018 Collection : The biology of habitats Importance : 336 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-873914-2 Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198739135.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mediterranean region  Climate change  Conservation  Biodiversity  Ecology  Ecophysiology  Evolution  Scrublands  Habitats  Case study Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The world’s mediterranean-type climate regions (including areas within the Mediterranean, South Africa, Australia, California, and Chile) have long been of interest to biologists by virtue of their extraordinary biodiversity and the appearance of evolutionary convergence between these disparate regions. Comparisons between mediterranean-type climate regions have provided important insights into questions at the cutting edge of ecological, ecophysiological and evolutionary research. These regions, dominated by evergreen shrubland communities, contain many rare and endemic species. Their mild climate makes them appealing places to live and visit and this has resulted in numerous threats to the species and communities that occupy them. Threats include a wide range of factors such as habitat loss due to development and agriculture, disturbance, invasive species, and climate change. As a result, they continue to attract far more attention than their limited geographic area might suggest. This book provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to mediterranean-type ecosystems. As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that dominate these regions although their management, conservation, and restoration are also considered.

The biology of deserts / David Ward (2009)  

Public ISBD Titre : The biology of deserts Type de document : livre Auteurs : David Ward, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2009 Collection : The biology of habitats Importance : 339 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-921147-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity  Desert ecology  Resource conservation  Species interactions Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : This book offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to desert ecology, and adopts a strong evolutionary focus. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in the book is on the organisms that dominate this harsh environment, although conservation and experimental aspects are also considered. Deserts are defined by their arid conditions; a consequence of this aridity is that most of the area occupied by desert is barren and monotonous, leading many people to regard it as wasteland. However, deserts are widespread and represent surprisingly biodiverse environments, although it is the relative simplicity of these ecosystems that makes them more tractable for study than more complex environments. In these resource-poor locations, natural selection is working at its greatest extreme, and provides some of the best-known examples of Darwinian selection. The Biology of Deserts includes a wide range of ecological and evolutionary issues, including morphological and physiological adaptations of desert plants and animals, species interactions, the importance of predation and parasitism, food webs, biodiversity, and conservation. It features a balance of plant and animal (both invertebrate and vertebrate) examples, and also emphasizes topical applied issues such as desertification and invasive species. The book concludes by considering the positive aspects of desert conservation.
