The Influence of Agriculture on the Quality of Natural Waters in England and Wales (Water Quality S., #6)
When the Texas plains country was opened to the advance of the first cattlemen, among the ranches that grew up along the advancing frontier were several large, foreign-owned enterprises. The activities and the orientation of such ranches differed in many respects from those of their locally owned neighbors. In this detailed study of all aspects of the operation of one such ranch, Dr. William Curry Holden adds to our knowledge both of the frontier and of the livestock industry. Expanding his exam...
The ever increasing emission of carbon dioxide due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, unplanned tourism and alteration of land use pattern is causing unprecedented changes to marine biodiversity. Irrespective of political philosophy, nation, caste, sex and religion, mankind is under the appalling shadow of climate change. Today nature-based approaches for the mitigation of climate change are increasingly accepted as part of the low-cost solution. Thrust has been given by several scientifi...

Monoculture Farming
Monoculture farming is nowadays a widespread practice throughout the world. In order to meet the food demand of rapidly increasing populations, the diverse agroecosystems have been converted mostly into single cropping sectors. Even though food productivity with high input has been boosted to some extent, it is at the cost of local biodiversity loss. This book, drawing examples from several tropical and sub-tropical countries, documents some of the most prevailing monoculture practices and thei...
Innovative Bio-Products for Agriculture
The aim of this book is to highlight the utilization of algae for the development of useful products using environmentally friendly technologies such as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE). Each chapter is a collection of comprehensive information on the present research on algae in different applications. The primary emphasis of this book however, is concerned with the products used for agriculture. Algal extracts were presented in this book also as a b...
Too many calves die young or fail to thrive causing enormous financial loss and suffering. However, good calf performance and health can be achieved within a wide range of rearing systems if the stockmanship is good. The last few years have seen many improvements in our understanding of the scientific basis of calf rearing. In many cases, these have reinforced traditional concepts of good calf husbandry. In other cases, traditional good husbandry has been shown to be positively dangerous. This b...
