Principles of terrestrial ecosystem ecology / Chapin, F.S. (2011)  

Public ISBD Titre : Principles of terrestrial ecosystem ecology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Chapin, F.S., Auteur ; Matson, P.A., Auteur ; Vitousek, P.M., Auteur Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : New York : Springer Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 529 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4419-9502-5 Note générale : Voir aussi la 1ère édition de 2002 à la cote 67407/15 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied Ecology  Biogeochemical cycles  Biological systems  Ecosystem management Résumé : L'éditeur indique : Humans have directly modified half of the ice-free terrestrial surface and use 40% of terrestrial production. We are causing the sixth major extinction event in the history of life on Earth. With the Earth’s climate, flora, and fauna changing rapidly, there is a pressing need to understand terrestrial ecosystem processes and their sensitivity to environmental and biotic changes. This book offers a framework to do just that. Ecosystem ecology regards living organisms, including people, and the elements of their environment as components of a single integrated system. The comprehensive coverage in this textbook examines the central processes at work in terrestrial ecosystems, including their freshwater components. It traces the flow of energy, water, carbon, and nutrients from their abiotic origins to their cycles through plants, animals, and decomposer organisms. As well as detailing the processes themselves, the book goes further to integrate them at various scales of magnitude—those of the ecosystem, the wider landscape and the globe. It synthesizes recent advances in ecology with established and emerging ecosystem theory to offer a wide-ranging survey of ecosystem patterns and processes in our terrestrial environment. Featuring review questions at the end of each chapter, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of ecological terms, Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology is a vitally relevant text suitable for study in all courses in ecosystem ecology. Resource managers and researchers in many fields will welcome its thorough presentation of ecosystem essentials.

Theoretical ecology: principles and applications / May, R.(Ed.) ; McLean, A.(Ed.) (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Theoretical ecology: principles and applications Type de document : livre Auteurs : May, R.(Ed.) ; McLean, A.(Ed.) Mention d'édition : 03 éd. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 257 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-920999-6 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et emprunté le 13/02/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied Ecology  Ecological communities Résumé : Robert May's seminal book has played a central role in the development of ecological science. Originally published in 1976, this influential text has overseen the transition of ecology from an observational and descriptive subject to one with a solid conceptual core. Indeed, it is a testament to its influence that a great deal of the novel material presented in the earlier editions has now been incorporated into standard undergraduate textbooks. It is now a quarter of a century since the publication of the second edition, and thorough revision is timely. Theoretical Ecology provides a succinct, up-to-date overview of the field set in the context of applications, thereby bridging the traditional division of theory and practice. It describes the recent advances in our understanding of how interacting populations of plants and animals change over time and space, in response to natural or human-created disturbance. In an integrated way, initial chapters give an account of the basic principles governing the structure, function, and temporal and spatial dynamics of populations and communities of plants and animals. Later chapters outline applications of these ideas to practical issues including fisheries, infectious diseases, tomorrow's food supplies, climate change, and conservation biology. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on questions which as yet remain unanswered. The editors have invited the top scientists in the field to collaborate with the next generation of theoretical ecologists. The result is an accessible, advanced textbook suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate level students as well as researchers in the fields of ecology, mathematical biology, environmental and resources management. It will also be of interest to the general reader seeking a better understanding of a range of global environmental problems.

Ecological engineering for pest management: advances in habitat manipulation for arthropods / Geoff M. Gurr (2004)  

Public ISBD Titre : Ecological engineering for pest management: advances in habitat manipulation for arthropods Type de document : livre Auteurs : Geoff M. Gurr, Éditeur scientifique ; Steve D. Wratten, Éditeur scientifique ; Miguel A. Altieri, Éditeur scientifique ; David Pimentel, Préfacier, etc. Editeur : Ithaca : Comstock Année de publication : 2004 Importance : 232 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8014-4342-8 Note générale : ISBN-10 : 0-8014-4342-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Applied Ecology  Arthropoda  Engineering  Habitat selection  Pest control Résumé : Ecological engineering is the process of manipulating farm habitats, making them less favourable for pests and more attractive to beneficial insects. Though they have received far less research attention and funding, ecological approaches may be safer and more sustainable than their controversial cousin, genetic engineering. This book brings together contributions from international workers leading the fast moving field of habitat manipulation, reviewing the field and paving the way towards the development and application of new pest management approaches. Chapters explore the frontiers of ecological engineering methods including molecular approaches, high tech marking and remote sensing. They also review the theoretical aspects of this field and how ecological engineering may interact with genetic engineering. The technologies presented offer opportunities to reduce crop losses to insects while reducing the use of pesticides and providing potentially valuable habitat for wildlife conservation.
