Stable isotopes in ecology and environmental science / Michener, R.(Ed.) ; Lajhta, K.(Ed.) (2007)
Titre : Stable isotopes in ecology and environmental science Type de document : livre Auteurs : Michener, R.(Ed.) ; Lajhta, K.(Ed.) Mention d'édition : 02 éd. Editeur : Malden : Blackwell Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Ecological methods and concepts Importance : 566 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4051-2680-9 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et emprunté le 15/01/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Environmental aspects Isotopes Résumé : This book highlights new and emerging uses of stable isotope analysis in a variety of ecological disciplines. While the use of natural abundance isotopes in ecological research is now relatively standard, new techniques and ways of interpreting patterns are developing rapidly. The second edition of this book provides a thorough, up-to-date examination of these methods of research. As part of the Ecological Methods and Concepts series which provides the latest information on experimental techniques in ecology, this book looks at a wide range of techniques that use natural abundance isotopes to: * follow whole ecosystem element cycling * understand processes of soil organic matter formation * follow the movement of water in whole watersheds * understand the effects of pollution in both terrestrial and aquatic environments * study extreme systems such as hydrothermal vents * follow migrating organisms In each case, the book explains the background to the methodology, looks at the underlying principles and assumptions, and outlines the potential limitations and pitfalls.

This volume reconfirms the diverse and unpredictable roles that non-native species assume as they invade new ecosystems: destruction of vital crops and forests, major damages to ecosystems leading to loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and water loss. In addition, it covers the impact of disease organisms on human health and livestock. Information is provided on how the non-native species invade new ecosystems and the subsequent environmental effects of these invading species. Wherever possible, estimates on the economic impacts of the invading species are included.

Titre : Evolutionary genetics and environmental stress Type de document : livre Auteurs : Hoffmann, A.A., Auteur ; Parsons, P.A., Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 1993 Importance : 284 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-854081-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecological genetics Environmental aspects Evolutionary genetics Population genetics Stress Variation Résumé : Although unpredictable and of short duration, periods of extreme environmental stress have been found to occur throughout the entire course of evolution. This book concentrates on the evolutionary changes that take place during these critical periods, when populations are driven to the extreme limits of resistance. Accumulating evidence suggests that it is precisely during such moments that fundamental changes in the natural order of systems are likely, both in terms of species extinctions and bursts of evolutionary activity. This study thus offers much potential for understanding the basic forces underlying the development of life on our planet. The book is necessarily multidisciplinary in approach, with an emphasis on the interaction between ecology, genetics, physiology, and the study of behavior and development. The book concludes with a discussion of the range expansion of species, and insightful observations regarding conservation strategies under rapidly changing conditions, including those created by environmental pollution.

Editeur : White River Junction : Chelsea Green Année de publication : 2004 Importance : 338 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-931498-58-6 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et ré-emprunté le 16/01/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Economic aspects Economic development Environmental aspects Pollution Population Sustainable development Résumé : In 1972, three scientists from MIT created a computer model that analyzed global resource consumption and production. Their results shocked the world and created stirring conversation about global 'overshoot,' or resource use beyond the carrying capacity of the planet. Now, preeminent environmental scientists Donnella Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and Dennis Meadows have teamed up again to update and expand their original findings in The Limits to Growth: The 30 Year Global Update.Meadows, Randers, and Meadows are international environmental leaders recognized for their groundbreaking research into early signs of wear on the planet. Citing climate change as the most tangible example of our current overshoot, the scientists now provide us with an updated scenario and a plan to reduce our needs to meet the carrying capacity of the planet.Over the past three decades, population growth and global warming have forged on with a striking semblance to the scenarios laid out by the World3 computer model in the original Limits to Growth. While Meadows, Randers, and Meadows do not make a practice of predicting future environmental degradation, they offer an analysis of present and future trends in resource use, and assess a variety of possible outcomes.In many ways, the message contained in Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update is a warning. Overshoot cannot be sustained without collapse. But, as the authors are careful to point out, there is reason to believe that humanity can still reverse some of its damage to Earth if it takes appropriate measures to reduce inefficiency and waste.
