Public ISBD Titre : Banded vegetation patterning in arid and semiarid environments: ecological processes and consequences for management Type de document : livre Auteurs : Tongway, D.J.(Ed) ; Valentin, C.(Ed.) ; Seghieri, J.(Ed.) Editeur : New York : Springer Année de publication : 2001 Collection : Ecological Studies, 149 Importance : 251 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-387-98839-9 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/06/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dynamique végétation  Ecologie  Environnement  Paysage Résumé : Aerial photography has revealed the striking, widespread phenomenon of repeating patterns of vegetation in more arid areas of the world. Two interdependent phases, bands of dense and sparse vegetation, alternate in the landscape. This volume synthesizes half a century accumulated knowledge of both theoretical and applied landscape functions from a variety of these regions. It covers structure, dynamics, and methods of study, as well as disturbances to these landscapes and relevant management issues. Chapters are included to discuss the role of modeling in answering questions about the origins and complex processes of banded landscapes. Studies of banded landscapes have yielded valuable lessons for understanding other semi-arid landscapes as well, leading to a knowledge base facilitating sustainable use and rehabilitation.
