Fisheries Ecology and Management
by Carl J Walters and Steven J D Martell
Quantitative modeling methods have become a central tool in the management of harvested fish populations. This book examines how these modeling methods work, why they sometimes fail, and how they might be improved by incorporating larger ecological interactions. Fisheries Ecology and Management provides a broad introduction to the concepts and quantitative models needed to successfully manage fisheries. Walters and Martell develop models that account for key ecological dynamics such as trophic i...

Terrestrial Coastal Ecosystems in Germany and Climate Change (Ecological Studies, #245)
Climate change is one of the most severe dangers for mankind worldwide. Beside the temperature increase, the sea level will rise and flood wide coastal areas, which is already remarkable today. The effects will be dramatic, in particular, at coasts with low elevation gradients such as at the German coasts of the North and Baltic Sea. The impact will be not only severe for coastal people, but still more for the unique coastal ecosystems, which harbors many plant and animal species that are alread...
Environmental Physiology of Plants (Experimental Botany Monographs)
by Alastair Fitter and Robert K M Hay
Already a widely acknowledged and successful work, this Second Edition has been extensively revised to reflect the vast amount of new literature in the field of plant physiology. The text deals with plant physiological responses to the environment, focusing on the boundary between physiology and ecology, and the treatment is largely based on North American and European examples with reference to the tropics when necessary.
Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria
Ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) and archaea are ubiquitous microorganisms, but their abundance and diversity vary widely across environments and play a crucial role in many ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems in particular. However, characterization of AOB communities require genomic methods as they are difficult to isolate from samples. Although non-toxic to humans, in the short term, ammonia in water systems are harmful to aquatic life both directly and indirectly through the disruption of the...

Value Addition of Horticultural Crops: Recent Trends and Future Directions
This book combines several ideas and philosophies and provides a detailed discussion on the value addition of fruits, vegetables, spices, plantation crops, floricultural crops and in forestry. Separate chapters address the packaging, preservation, drying, dehydration, total quality management and supply chain management of horticultural crops. The book explains value addition as a process of increasing the economic value and consumer appeal of a commodity with special reference to horticultural...
Hulled Wheat
Wheat (Triticum L.) is an annual herbaceous plant in the Poacae (Gramineae) family and settles in the Triticeae (Hordeae) subfamily. It is of great ethnobotanical importance. Other cereal crops such as maize, rice, barley, and millet are also domesticated from this family. Together they constitute the most economically important plant family in modern times, providing food, forage, building materials (bamboo, thatch), and fuel (ethanol) to support a diverse range of human activities. In recen...
The Global Carbon Cycle (Princeton Primers in Climate, #1)
by David Archer
"The Global Carbon Cycle" is a short introduction to this essential geochemical driver of the Earth's climate system, written by one of the world's leading climate-science experts. In this one-of-a-kind primer, David Archer engages readers in clear and simple terms about the many ways the global carbon cycle is woven into our climate system. He begins with a concise overview of the subject, and then looks at the carbon cycle on three different time scales, describing how the cycle interacts with...
Strategien Zur Bewältigung Globaler Umweltrisiken (Welt Im Wandel, #1998)
Dieses Gutachten leistet einen konstruktiven Beitrag zu einem sachlichen Umgang mit Risiken des Globalen Wandels, indem - global relevante Risiken typisiert und besonders gravierende Risikotypen herausgestellt werden, - diesen Typen sowohl bewahrte als auch innovative Strategien zur Risikobewertung sowie entsprechende Instrumente fur das Risikomanagement zugeordnet werden, so dass daraus Managementprioritaten festgelegt werden konnen. Ein Ziel dieses Gutachtens ist die Versachlichung der intern...
Ages 5 to 8 years. Text in Spanish. The grasslands of Africa are home to some of the most interesting plants and animals in the world. A Savanna Habitat uses beautiful photographs, detailed illustrations, and clear language to teach young readers all about this amazing habitat. This book teaches children about: the small and huge animals that graze on the grasses; the carnivores found in the savanna and how they hunt; how animals find food, water, and shelter on the savanna.

Mathematical Modeling in Ecology (Mathematical Modeling, #3)
by C Jeffries
Mathematical ecology is the application of mathematics to describe and understand ecosystems. There are two main approaches. One is to describe natural communities and induce statistical patterns or relationships which should generally occur. However, this book is devoted entirely to introducing the student to the second approach: to study deterministic mathematical models and, on the basis of mathematical results on the models, to look for the same patterns or relationships in nature. This book...
