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.
Supercomputing is an important science and technology that enables the scientist or the engineer to simulate numerically very complex physical phenomena related to large-scale scientific, industrial and military applications.
Starting with the description of meteorological variables in forest canopies and its parameter variations, a numerical three-dimentional model is developed.
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.
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.
There is a growing need for cooperation between disciplines, not only to deal with the burning problems of the present, but to study the interaction of societies and their ecosystems in the past.
Behavioural Mechanisms of Food Selection examines animals belonging to diverse trophic groups, from carnivores, herbivores, micro-algal grazers, to filter-feeders and detritus-feeders.
No matter what forests are used for, forest managers have to deal with interactions between individual trees and between trees and other forest organisms.
In 1977, the Volkswagen Foundation sponsored the first of a series of International Symposia on Fire Ecology at Freiburg University, Federal Republic of Germany.
In this volume experts present the latest status of mathematical and statistical methods in use for the analysis and modeling of plant disease epidemics.
Michael Evenari's biography unfolds his exciting, manifold life: his love for botany, the confrontation with political events as a youngster and his thrilling experience of helping in the development of Israel.
The understanding of pollutant transformations, sorption and transport in soils and uptake by plants is the key to controlling contaminant movement towards groundwater and accumulation in food-chains.
The floricultural industry has been undergoing an unprecedented revolu- tion in terms of the type of commodity produced and the production and marketing technology in both developed and developing countries.
This preface is being written at a time of exceptional public interest in the North Sea, following media head- lines on toxic algal blooms, the mass mortality of common seals, and concern over pollution levels.
The concept of controlled release has attracted increasing attention over the last two decades, with the applications of this technology proliferating in diverse fields in- cluding medicine, agriculture and biotechnology.
Properly treated sewage effluent becomes an alternative source of irrigation water, and at the same time it provides a convenient means of sewage disposal through land treatment to prevent potential health and environmental hazards caused by uncontrolled flow of wastewater.
In March, 1983 a workshop on Pollutants in Porous Media was hosted by the Institute of Soils and Water of the Agricultural Research Organi- zation in Bet Dagan, Israel.
With improved microscope and preparation techniques, studies of histo- logical structures of plant organisms experienced a revival of interest at the end of the 19th century.
Wood is formed in an essentially water-saturated environment in the living tree, and the cell wall remains in this state until the water flow from the roots is interrupted, such as by felling the tree.
In Physical Processes in Estuaries the present day knowledge of the physics of transport phenomena in estuaries and their mathematical treatment is summarized: It is divided into following parts: - Water movements in estuaries - Estuarine fronts and river plumes - Internal waves and interface stability - Fine sediment transport, aggregation of particles, settling velocity of mud flocs - Sedimentation and erosion of fine sediments.
