Road ecology: science and solutions / Richard T. T. Forman (2003)  

Public ISBD Titre : Road ecology: science and solutions Type de document : livre Auteurs : Richard T. T. Forman, Auteur ; Sperling, D., Auteur ; BISSONETTE, J.A. ; CLEVENGER, A.P., Auteur ; Cutshall, C.D., Auteur ; Dale, V.H., Auteur ; FAHRIG, L., Auteur ; France, R., Auteur ; Goldman, C.R., Auteur ; Heanue, K., Auteur ; JONES, J.A., Auteur ; SWANSON, F.J., Auteur ; Turrentine, T., Auteur ; Winter, T.C., Auteur Editeur : Washington, D.C. : Island Press Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 481 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55963-933-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Automobiles  Environmental aspects  Roads  Roadside ecology Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : A central goal of transportation is the delivery of safe and efficient services with minimal environmental impact. In practice, though, human mobility has flourished while nature has suffered. Awareness of the environmental impacts of roads is increasing, yet information remains scarce for those interested in studying, understanding, or minimizing the ecological effects of roads and vehicles. Road Ecology addresses that shortcoming by elevating previously localized and fragmented knowledge into a broad and inclusive framework for understanding and developing solutions. The book brings together fourteen leading ecologists and transportation experts to articulate state-of-the-science road ecology principles, and presents specific examples that demonstrate the application of those principles. Diverse theories, concepts, and models in the new field of road ecology are integrated to establish a coherent framework for transportation policy, planning, and projects. Topics examined include: * foundations of road ecology * roads, vehicles, and transportation planning * vegetation and roadsides * wildlife populations and mitigation * water, sediment, and chemical flows * aquatic ecosystems * wind, noise, and atmospheric effects * road networks and landscape fragmentation Road Ecology links ecological theories and concepts with transportation planning, engineering, and travel behavior. With more than 100 illustrations and examples from around the world, it is an indispensable and pioneering work for anyone involved with transportation, including practitioners and planners in state and province transportation departments, federal agencies, and nongovernmental organizations. The book also opens up an important new research frontier for ecologists. En ligne : https://islandpress.org/books/road-ecology Road ecology: science and solutions [livre] / Richard T. T.

Panarchy: understanding transformations in human and natural systems / Lance H. Gunderson (2002)  

Public ISBD Titre : Panarchy: understanding transformations in human and natural systems Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lance H. Gunderson, Éditeur scientifique ; C. S. Holling, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Washington, D.C. : Island Press Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 507 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55963-857-5 Prix : 50.00 USD Note générale : ISBN-10 : 1-55963-857-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecosystems  Human ecology Résumé : Creating institutions to meet the challenge of sustainability is arguably the most important task confronting society; it is also dauntingly complex. Ecological, economic, and social elements all play a role, but despite ongoing efforts, researchers have yet to succeed in integrating the various disciplines in a way that gives adequate representation to the insights of each. Panarchy, a term devised to describe evolving hierarchical systems with multiple interrelated elements, offers an important new framework for understanding and resolving this dilemma. Panarchy is the structure in which systems, including those of nature (e.g., forests) and of humans (e.g., capitalism), as well as combined human-natural systems (e.g., institutions that govern natural resource use such as the Forest Service), are interlinked in continual adaptive cycles of growth, accumulation, restructuring, and renewal. These transformational cycles take place at scales ranging from a drop of water to the biosphere, over periods from days to geologic epochs. By understanding these cycles and their scales, researchers can identify the points at which a system is capable of accepting positive change, and can use those leverage points to foster resilience and sustainability within the system. This volume brings together leading thinkers on the subject -- including Fikret Berkes, Buz Brock, Steve Carpenter, Carl Folke, Lance Gunderson, C.S. Holling, Don Ludwig, Karl-Goran Maler, Charles Perrings, Marten Scheffer, Brian Walker, and Frances Westley -- to develop and examine the concept of panarchy and to consider how it can be applied to human, natural, and human-natural systems. Throughout, contributors seek to identify adaptive approaches to management that recognize uncertainty and encourage innovation while fostering resilience. The book is a fundamental new development in a widely acclaimed line of inquiry. It represents the first step in integrating disciplinary knowledge for the adaptive management of human-natural systems across widely divergent scales, and offers an important base of knowledge from which institutions for adaptive management can be developed. It will be an invaluable source of ideas and understanding for students, researchers, and professionals involved with ecology, conservation biology, ecological economics, environmental policy, or related fields.
