Titre : Plants at the margin: ecological limits and climate change Type de document : livre Auteurs : R. M. M. Crawford, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 478 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-62309-4 Note générale : DOI:10.1017/CBO9780511754906 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Climatic changes Environmental aspects Plant communities Vegetation and climate Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Margins are by their very nature environmentally unstable - does it therefore follow that plant populations adapted for life in such areas will prove to be pre-adapted to withstand the changes that may be brought about by a warmer world? Biogeography, demography, reproductive biology, physiology and genetics all provide cogent explanations as to why limits occur where they do, and the purpose of this book is to bring together these different avenues of enquiry. Crawford's numerous beautiful illustrations of plants in their natural habitats remind us that the environment remains essential to our understanding of plants and their function. This book is suited to students, researchers and anyone with an interest in the impact of climate change on our world.

Titre : Scaling biodiversity Type de document : livre Auteurs : D. Storch, Éditeur scientifique ; James H. Brown, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Ecological reviews Importance : 470 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-69937-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity Résumé : We know that there are tens of millions of plant and animal species, but we do not know enough to be able to describe the patterns and processes that characterise the distribution of species in space, time and taxonomic groups. Given that in practical terms it is impossible to expect to be able to document biodiversity with any degree of completeness other approaches must be used. Scaling rules offer one possible framework, and this book offers a synthesis of the ways in which scaling theory can be applied to the analysis of biodiversity. Scaling Biodiversity presents new views on quantitative patterns of the biological diversity on earth and the processes responsible for them. Written by a team of leading experts in ecology who present their most recent and innovative views, readers will be provided with what is the state of art in current ecology and biodiversity science.

Titre : The honest broker: making sense of science in policy and politics Type de document : livre Auteurs : Pielke, Roger A., Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 188 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-69481-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Moral and ethical aspects Political aspects Research Social aspects Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of how they present their research. This book is about understanding this choice, what considerations are important to think about when deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using examples from a range of scientific controversies and thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens - to think carefully about how best science can contribute to policy-making and a healthy democracy.
