Tropical ecosystems and ecological concepts / Patrick L. Osborne (2012)  

Public ISBD Titre : Tropical ecosystems and ecological concepts Type de document : livre Auteurs : Patrick L. Osborne, Auteur Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 522 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-17734-4 Prix : 56.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Tropical zones  Ecology  Human ecology  Ecosystems Résumé : Tropical habitats cover over one third of the Earth's terrestrial surface and harbor much of its biodiversity, with many areas rich in endemic species. However, these ecosystems are under significant and growing threat from issues such as deforestation, land degradation and ocean acidification. This introductory textbook provides a comprehensive guide to the major tropical biomes. It is unique in its balanced coverage of both aquatic and terrestrial systems and in its international scope. Each chapter is built around a particular tropical ecosystem, with descriptive case studies providing a framework around which ecological concepts and applied ecological topics are presented. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent advances in the field and includes a greater focus on the impact of global climate change. The text is supported throughout by boxes containing supplementary material and is illustrated with over 200 clear, simple line diagrams, maps and photographs. Case studies are used to introduce ecological concepts, reinforcing new theory with concrete examples.End of chapter summaries help students to identify and remember key points. Mathematical treatments are minimized, allowing students to grasp the concepts without getting bogged down in complex maths En ligne : http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521177340 Tropical ecosystems and ecological concepts [livre] / Patrick L.

Terrestrial ecosystems in a changing world / Josep G. Canadell (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Terrestrial ecosystems in a changing world Type de document : livre Auteurs : Josep G. Canadell, Éditeur scientifique ; Pataki, D.E.(Ed.) ; Pitelka, L.F.(Ed.) Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 336 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-32729-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et retour en rayon le 04/06/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Climatic change  Ecosystems  Global change  Terrestrial ecosystems Résumé : Over 100 authors present 25 contributions on the impacts of global change on terrestrial ecosystems including: i) key processes of the earth system such as the CO2 fertilization effect, shifts in disturbances and biome distribution, the saturation of the terrestrial carbon sink, and changes in functional biodiversity, ii) ecosystem services such the production of wheat, pest control, and carbon storage in croplands, and iii) sensitive regions in the world threaten by rapid changes in climate and land use such as high latitudes ecosystems, tropical forest in Southeast Asia, and ecosystems dominated by Monsoon climate. The book also explores new research developments on spatial thresholds and nonlinearities, the key role of urban development in global biogeochemical processes, and the integration of natural and social sciences to address complex problems of the human-environment system.

Managed ecosystems and CO2: case studies, processes, and perspectives / Nösberger, J.(Ed.) (2006)

Public ISBD Titre : Managed ecosystems and CO2: case studies, processes, and perspectives Type de document : livre Auteurs : Nösberger, J.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; S. P. Long, Éditeur scientifique ; Norby, R.J.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Stitt, M.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Hendrey, G.R.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Blum, H.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Ecological studies, 187 Importance : 457 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-31236-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carbon dioxide  Case studies  Ecosystems  Environmental impact  Physiological regulation Résumé : Managed ecosystems cover a large part of the Earth's land surface, provide almost all of our food and most of our wood and fibre, and are increasingly a source of renewable energy. Forecasting the ability of managed ecosystems to continue these vital roles in a globally changing environment is an inter-disciplinary challenge. To elucidate the complex responses of managed systems to elevated [CO2], several free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) facilities were established. These FACE systems allow large areas to be exposed to the elevated [CO2] we expect by the middle of the century. This volume summarizes the main findings from 13 experiments with annual crops, permanent pastures and plantation forests at 11 sites throughout the world during the past ten years. The results significantly alter our perception of how rising [CO2] will directly affect these managed ecosystems, with implications for policy, plant-breeding objectives and adaptation.

Resilience thinking: sustaining ecosystems and people in a changing world / Walker, B.H ; Salt, D. (2006)  

Public ISBD Titre : Resilience thinking: sustaining ecosystems and people in a changing world Type de document : livre Auteurs : Walker, B.H ; Salt, D. Editeur : Washington, D.C. : Island Press Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 174 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-59726-093-0 Note générale : La page de couverture mentionne: How can landscapes and communities absorb disturbance and maintain function? Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Case studies  Ecosystems  Human ecology  Natural resources  Resilience  Resource conservation  Resource management  Sustainable development Résumé : Increasingly, cracks are appearing in the capacity of communities, ecosystems, and landscapes to provide the goods and services that sustain our planet's well-being. The response from most quarters has been for "more of the same" that created the situation in the first place: more control, more intensification, and greater efficiency. "Resilience thinking" offers a new way of understanding the world and a new approach to managing resources. It embraces human and natural systems as complex entities continually adapting through cycles of change, and seeks to understand the qualities of a system that must be maintained or enhanced in order to achieve sustainability. In Resilience Thinking, scientist Brian Walker and science writer David Salt present an accessible introduction to the emerging paradigm of resilience. Rather than complicated theory, the book offers a conceptual overview along with five case studies of resilience thinking in the real world. It is an engaging and important work for anyone interested in managing risk in a complex world.
