Ecohydrology: Darwinian Expression of Vegetation Form and Function
ISBN: 9780521619912 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume is devoted to the derivation and application of simplified bioclimatic boundary conditions at vegetated land surfaces using natural selection of vegetation characteristics driven by productivity maximization. It investigates the internal control of forest growth by the vertical fluxes of light, CO2, water vapor, and heat within the canopy, as well as the external control offered by the balances of thermal energy and water. Through these means it seeks to determine how the physical characteristics and productivity of forest communities are related to the climates and soils in which...

An Introduction to Seismological Research: History and Development
ISBN: 9780521675512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Modern seismology is a relatively new science; most current ideas originated no earlier than the latter half of the nineteenth century. The focus of this book is on seismological concepts, how they originated and how they form our modern understanding of the science. A history of seismology falls naturally into four periods: a largely mythological period previous to the 1755 Lisbon earthquake; a period of direct observation from then to the development of seismometers in the late 19th century; a period during which study of seismic arrival times were used to outline the structure of the...

Safeguarding the Ozone Layer and the Global Climate System: Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
ISBN: 9780521682060 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 486 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Scientific evidence linking chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting substances to global ozone depletion led to the initial control of chemicals under the 1987 Montreal Protocol. Since then it has been realized that some actions taken to reduce future depletion of the ozone layer could also influence global warming. When the Kyoto Protocol was negotiated in 1997, countries had new incentives to take account of how choices among substitutes could affect the objectives of both Protocols. This report provides the scientific context required for consideration of these choices; potential...
