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.

Nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems / P. Marschner (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems Type de document : livre Auteurs : P. Marschner, Éditeur scientifique ; Rengel, Z.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Soil biology, 10 Importance : 397 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-68026-0 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 27/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biochemistry  Nutrient cycles  Soil sciences  Terrestrial ecosystems Résumé : This book presents a comprehensive overview of nutrient cycling processes and their importance for plant growth and ecosystem sustainability. The first part of the book presents the fundamentals of nutrient cycling. Topics included are cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and micronutrients. Particular attention is paid to the role of root exudates and rhizosphere microorganisms in facilitating nutrient cycling. The second part discusses nutrient cycling at an ecosystem scale, covering cropping systems, pastures, natural grasslands, arid lands, tundras and forests. The final chapter reviews current models of nutrient cycling. By comprehensively covering nutrient cycling at a range of scales and emphasizing multidisciplinary approaches, this volume will support scientists and practitioners alike. It provides links between those involved in improving sustainable economic output from managed ecosystems and those interested in conservation of natural ecosystems.

Land-use and land-cover change: local processes and global impacts / Lambin, E.F.(Ed.) ; Geist, H.J.(Ed.) (2006)

Public ISBD Titre : Land-use and land-cover change: local processes and global impacts Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lambin, E.F.(Ed.) ; Geist, H.J.(Ed.) Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Global Change - The IGBP Series Importance : 222 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-32201-6 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 27/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Global change  Land cover  Land use  Terrestrial ecosystems Résumé : The book presents recent estimates of the rates in changes of major land classes such as forest, cropland and pasture. Among the causative mechanisms behind land change, synergetic factor combinations are found to be more common than single key factor explanations. Aggregated globally, multiple impacts of local land changes are shown to significantly affect central aspects of Earth System functioning. Innovative developments and applications in the fields of modeling and scenario construction are presented. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the most pressing implications for the design of appropriate intervention policies, and on new directions and frontiers of research. The edited book synthesizes research achievements by dozens of scientists related to the Land-Use/Cover Change (LUCC) project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP). It summarizes relevant findings on global land-use change which arose from value-adding activities of the LUCC project, starting in 1995 and extending until its termination in October 2005. The main intention is to describe how human modification of land cover became a major driving force of Earth System changes over the past 300 years, a period of most rapid transformations, with fundamental implications for current landscape configurations. In writing this book, current knowledge and understanding is reported on the rates, causes/pathways, impacts, future scenarios/models, policy implications and new research directions in the field of land-use/cover change.
