"e;Landscape Bionomics,"e; or "e;Bio-integrated Landscape Ecology,"e; radically transforms the main principles of traditional Landscape Ecology by recognizing the landscape as a living entity rather than merely the spatial distribution of species and communities on the territory, often analysed in separate themes (water, species, pollution, etc.
'Homegardens' are integrated tree - crop - animal production systems, often in small parcels of land surrounding homesteads, and primarily found in tropical environments.

Biotechnology has come to a stage where, by replacing some of the age- old practices of breeding, it can produce novel and improved plants and animals that can better serve human beings and their purposes.
Microbial activities influence water-rock interaction processes and chemical transport between the major geochemical reservoirs and the formation/transformation of minerals and rocks, whereas geological processes and geochemical controls influence the microbial ecology in extreme environments.
This book is a treatise on microbial ecotoxicology, discussing the effect of pollutants on microbial ecosystems and the role of microorganisms in ecosystems services.
The book delves into the intricate relationship between India's forest governance, laws, and policies over time, examining their effects on the quality and coverage of the country's forests.
The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat.
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.
The book provides an accessible introduction to the core concepts of nanotechnology, the interactions between plants and nanoparticles, and the basic techniques for delivering nanoparticles to plant systems.
