Titre : The changing Arctic environment: the Arctic messenger Type de document : livre Auteurs : David P. Stone, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 360 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-09441-3 Prix : 34.99 GBP Note générale : David P. Stone : former Chair of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Arctic region Climate change Environmental management Environmental degradation Pollution Marine sciences Research programmes Environmental policies Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "This accessible and engagingly written book describes how national and international scientific monitoring programmes brought to light our present understanding of Arctic environmental change, and how these research results were successfully used to achieve international legal actions to lessen some of the environmental impacts. David P. Stone was intimately involved in many of these scientific and political activities. He tells a powerful story, using the metaphor of the 'Arctic Messenger'--an imaginary being warning us all of the folly of ignoring Arctic environmental change. This book will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the fate of the Arctic, including lifelong learners interested in the Arctic and the natural environment generally; students studying environmental science and policy; researchers of circumpolar studies, indigenous peoples, national and international environmental management, and environmental law; and policymakers and industry professionals looking to protect (or exploit) Arctic resources."

Titre : Terrestrial biosphere-atmosphere fluxes Type de document : livre Auteurs : Monson, Russell, Auteur ; Baldocchi, Dennis, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 487 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-04065-6 Note générale : Online mathematical supplement guides at 'www.cambridge.org/monson' Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Atmospheric circulation Atmospheric turbulence Biosphere Energy exchange Résumé : "Fluxes of trace gases, water and energy - the 'breathing of the biosphere' - are controlled by a large number of interacting physical, chemical, biological and ecological processes. In this interdisciplinary book, the authors provide the tools to understand and quantitatively analyse fluxes of energy, organic compounds such as terpenes, and trace gases including carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane. It first introduces the fundamental principles affecting the supply and demand for trace gas exchange at the leaf and soil scales: thermodynamics, diffusion, turbulence, and physiology. It then builds on these principles to model the exchange of water, carbon dioxide, terpenes, and stable isotopes at the ecosystem scale. Detailed mathematical derivations of commonly-used relations in biosphere-atmosphere interactions are provided for reference in Appendices. An accessible introduction for graduate students, and a key resource for researchers in related fields such as atmospheric science, hydrology, meteorology, climate science, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem ecology". "Fluxes of trace gases, water and energy between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere govern the state and fate of these two coupled systems. This 'breathing of the biosphere' is controlled by a large number of interacting physical, chemical, biological and ecological processes. In this integrated and interdisciplinary book, the authors provide the tools to understand and quantitatively analyse fluxes of energy, trace gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, and organic compounds, such as terpenes".

Famula, Éditeur scientifique ; Robert L. Bettinger, Éditeur scientifique ; Brush, S.B., Éditeur scientifique ; DAMANIA, A.B., Éditeur scientifique ; Patrick E. McGuire, Éditeur scientifique ; Calvin O. Qualset, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 606 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-17087-1 Prix : 51.00 GBP Note générale : Presentations of the 2nd Harlan Symposium, 14-18 September 2008, University of California, Davis Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Agriculture Biodiversity Plant domestication Animal domestication Biology Ecology Social sciences Agricultural economics Résumé : The introduction of plant and animal agriculture represents one of the most important milestones in human evolution. It contributed to the development of cities, alphabets, new technologies, and ultimately to civilizations, but it has also presented a threat to both human health and the environment. Bringing together research from a range of fields including anthropology, archaeology, ecology, economics, entomology, ethnobiology, genetics and geography, this book addresses key questions relating to agriculture. Why did agriculture develop and where did it originate? What are the patterns of domestication for plants and animals? How did agroecosystems originate and spread from their locations of origin? Exploring the cultural aspects of the development of agricultural ecosystems, the book also highlights how these topics can be applied to our understanding of contemporary agriculture, its long-term sustainability, the co-existence of agriculture and the environment, and the development of new crops and varieties.

Iason, Éditeur scientifique ; Dicke, Marcel (Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Hartley, Sue E.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Ecological reviews Importance : 334 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-15712-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Metabolism,Secondary Plant ecology Plant metabolites Résumé : Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) such as terpenes and phenolic compounds are known to have numerous ecological roles, notably in defence against herbivores, pathogens and abiotic stresses and in interactions with competitors and mutualists. This book reviews recent developments in the field to provide a synthesis of the function, ecology and evolution of PSMs, revealing our increased awareness of their integrative role in connecting natural systems. It emphasises the multiple roles of secondary metabolites in mediating the interactions between organisms and their environment at a range of scales of ecological organisation, demonstrating how genes encoding for PSM biosynthetic enzymes can have effects from the cellular scale within individual plants all the way to global environmental processes. A range of recent methodological advances, including molecular, transgenic and metabolomic techniques, are illustrated and promising directions for future studies are identified, making this a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in the field.
