This book covers whole Europe within its geographical limits, providing not only an overview about biogeography and recent taxonomic status of Charophyte species but also in-depth information about recent knowledge about ecology, ontogenesis, morphology, palaeontology and systematics of this group of algae.
The edited book highlights comprehensive studies on plant diversity dynamics, ecosystem processes, and best conservation practices from the interdisciplinary perspectives such as the botanists, ecologists, conservation biologists, geneticists, cell biologists, molecular biotechnologists, and social scientists.
This book highlights various issues related to biodiversity conservation and land degradation, and the global challenges faced in achieving land degradation neutrality.
This book surveys the ecology of stoats resident in New Zealand since the 1880s, when they were deliberately imported from UK as potential agents of biological control against rabbits.
A collage-style work in fragments, Lynne Huffer's These Survivals brings together philosophy, memoir, poetry, and original multimedia artworks to articulate an ethics of living on a devastated planet.
This book provides information about the principal biotechnological strategies (enzyme-assisted extraction, liquid fermentation, and solid-state fermentation) used for the bioactive compounds (bioactive peptides, carotenoids, phenolic acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, among others) extraction from the marine resource (marine animals, microalgae, seaweed, among others) and wastes (crustaceans, fish, and others).

An important first step in studying the demography of wild animals is to identify the animals uniquely through applying markings, such as rings, tags, and bands.
Structure and Function in Agroecosystem Design and Management presents an advanced discussion of the need to design agricultural systems that 1) increase reliance on biological interactions in agroecosystems as a means of decreasing dependence on the use of large quantities of agrochemicals and the consumption of fossil fuel energy and 2) continue
This 30stA jubilee volume (2010) of "e;Palaeoecology of Africa"e; looks back and reflects the "e;state of the art"e; of what is actually known on former African climates and ecosystems in the format of review articles authored by specialists in the field.
Thanks to advances in electronic archiving of biodiversity data and the digitization of climate and other geophysical data, a new era in biogeography, functional ecology, and evolutionary ecology has begun.
This book offers an in-depth examination of wetland ecosystems, delving into their intricacies from three critical perspectivesa "e;limnological, bio-geochemical, and economic.
There is an increasing realization among biophysical scientists that human behavior drastically impacts the degree to which sound agroecosystems are implemented.
Das vorliegende Buch erzählt die wahre Geschichte mehrerer handaufgezogener Strassentauben, die eigentlich ausgewildert werden sollten, sich aber nach erfolgreicher Auswilderung und Anschluss an die wilden Tauben, dennoch dafür entschieden, bei ihrem Ziehvater zu leben, ohne aber den Anschluss an die wild lebenden Artgenossen aufzugeben.
This book aims to enhance understanding of the foundational principles and ethical considerations of citizen engagement in environmental conservation through an examination of successful cases of shared environmental governance in the Americas.
Environmental Sustainability and Global Change: Forests, Agriculture, and Soils vis a vis Human Disturbance offers an integrated approach to the socio-environmental dynamics of the ecological-economic nexus characteristic of Mediterranean landscapes.

This book explores the concept of transforming the current macroeconomic system from one based on continuous growth that doesn't recognize the fundamental importance of Earth's natural support structures, to a system consistent with the basic views of biophysical economics that acknowledges that all real wealth ultimately derives from planetary resources, both renewable and non-renewable.
Das "Jahr der Milane" befasst sich weniger mit den wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen über die beiden Milanarten, auch wenn diese immer wieder einfliessen, als vielmehr mit dem Alltag der Paare, deren Beziehungen untereinander, mit ihren unmittelbaren Nachbarn und den weiblichen, wie männlichen noch nicht brütenden Junggesellen.
