This seris keeps scientists and advanced studentsspecialized on a particular subject informed of the latestdevelopments and results in all different areas of botany.
Although many theoretical developments have been achieved inrecent years, the progress both in understanding andapplication of risk and reliability analysis in waterresources and environmental engineering remains slow.
Presenting an analysis of the water relationships of the major groups of organisms: fungi, plants and animals, the text examines water stress at all levels of biological organization.
This book is a natural extension of the SCOPE (Scientific Committee of Problems on the Environment) volumes on the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) biogeochemical cycles and their interactions (Likens, 1981; Bolin and Cook, 1983).
In their very first lecture biochemists learn that biomolecules, namely nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, are extremely temperature sensitive and will denature and lose their function easily.
Second in the series, High-Tech and Micropropagation, this work covers the micropropagation of trees and fruit-bearing plants, such as poplar, birches, larch, American sweetgum, black locust, Sorbus, sandalwood, Quercus, cedar, Persian walnut, date palm, cocoa, Citrus, olive, apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry, papaya, pineapple, kiwi, Japanese persimmon, grapevine, strawberry, and raspberry.
The author, experienced in industry and academia, presents a set of 15 recent review essays which identify and examine critical current issues of environmental management.
Earth scientists, who have worked together for 6 years in the priority pro- gram "e;Hydrogeochemical Processes in the Hydrological Cycle Within the Unsaturated and Saturated Zones"e;, have summarized the results of their research in this volume.
Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology helps biologists, physiologists, and biochemists keep track of the extensive literature in the field.
Being both broad - perception and motor organization - andnarrow - just onegroup of animals - at the same time, thisbook presents a new unified framework for understandingperceptuomotor organization, stressing the importance of anecological perspective.
Die Datenmengen, die bei der Modellierung, der Simulation und der Überwachung von Umweltprozessen anfallen, sind heute schon so groß, daß sie nur noch mit Supercomputersystemen in verantwortbaren Zeiten sinnvoll bearbeitet werden können.
Starting with the description of meteorological variables in forest canopies and its parameter variations, a numerical three-dimentional model is developed.
The new field of applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigates the muta- genicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.
Professor Hermann Remmert, führender Ökologie-Experte und Autor zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Publikationen, gibt hier eine gut lesbare und auch für den Laien verständliche Einführung in die viel-diskutierte Thematik: Naturschutz.
The new field of applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigates the mutagenicity and cancerogenicity of chemicals and other agents.
All relevant ecological aspects of plankton, especially seasonal changes in the species composition, the role of competition for limiting resources in species replacements, the role of parasitism, predation and competition in seasonal succession are treated in detail considering phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacteroplankton.
Volume 5 presents a detailed survey of the synthesis of pyrethroids and of almost every of the respective patent applications for synthetic pyrethroid active ingredients.
In a very real sense, much of North American physiological plant ecol- ogy began in the Basin and Range and has been researched there over the last four decades.
Environments at Risk is designed as an introductory text and uses case histories of environmental impact assessment to raise issues important in controlling environmental problems.
This book is based on our two books, published in the USSR and translated in a number of other countries Conservation of living nature: problems and perspectives (1983) and The levels of conservation of living nature (1985).
Ecophysiology of Desert Arthropods and Reptiles starts with a new classification of the world's deserts, based upon the type of precipitation and the effect on their faunas of arthropods and reptiles.
A massive phytoplankton bloom, locally termed "e;brown tide"e;, suddenly appeared in Long Island marine bays in 1985, colored the water a dark brown, decimated eelgrass beds and caused catastrophic starvation and recruitment failure of commercially important bay scallop populations.
