Invasive Alien Species: A New Synthesisvolume 63
ISBN: 9781559633635 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Invasive alien species are among today's most daunting environmental threats, costing billions of dollars in economic damages and wreaking havoc on ecosystems around the world. In 1997, a consortium of scientific organizations including SCOPE, IUCN, and CABI developed the Global Invasive Species. Programme (GISP) with the explicit objective of providing new tools for understanding and coping with invasive alien species. Invasive Alien Species is the final report of GISP's first phase of operation, 1997-2000, in which authorities from more than thirty countries worked to examine invasions as a...

Carbon Dioxide and Environmental Stress
ISBN: 9780124603707 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the interactive effects of environmental stresses with plant and ecosystem functions, especially with respect to changes in the abundance of carbon dioxide. The interaction of stresses with elevated carbon dioxide are presented from the cellular through whole plant ecosystem level. The book carefully considers not only the responses of the above-ground portion of the plant, but also emphasizes the critical role of below-ground (rhizosphere) components (e.g., roots, microbes, soil) in determining the nature and magnitude of these interactions. * Will rising CO2 alter...

The Biology of Vines
ISBN: 9780521107136 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The climbing habit in plants has apparently evolved numerous times. Species that climb are well represented in habitats ranging from tropical rain forests through temperate forests to semi-deserts. The Biology of Vines, first published in 1992, is a treatment of what is known about climbing plants, written by a group of experts and covering topics ranging from the biomechanics of twining to silvicultural methods for controlling vine infestations. Also included are detailed accounts of climbing plant evolution, stem anatomy and function, climbing mechanics, carbon and water relations,...

Ecology of Biological Invasions of North America and Hawaii
ISBN: 9780387971537 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The diversity of the earth's climates superimposed upon a complex configuration of physical features has provided the conditions for the evolution of a remarkable array of living things which are linked together into complex ecosystems. The kinds of organisms comprising the ecosystems of the world, and the nature of their interactions, have constantly changed through time due to coevolutionary interactions along with the effects of a continually changing physical environ- ment. In recent evolutionary time there has been a dramatic and ever-accelerating rate of change in the configuration of...

Remote Sensing of Biosphere Functioning
ISBN: 9781461279587 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Harold A. Mooney and Richard J. Hobbs At present there is enormous concern about the changes that are occurring on the surface of the earth and in the earth's atmosphere, primarily as a result of human activities. These changes, particularly in the atmosphere, have the potential for altering the earth's habitability. International pro- grams unprecedented in scope, including the International Geosphere- Biosphere Program, have been initiated to describe and understand these changes. The global change program will call for coordinated measure- ments on a global scale of those interactive...

Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems
ISBN: 9780125052955 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 443 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The importance of carbon dioxide extends from cellular to global levels of organization and potential ecological deterioration may be the result of increased CO2 in our atmosphere. Recently, the research emphasis shifted from studies of photosynthesis pathways and plant growth to ground-breaking studies of carbon dioxide balances in ecosystems, regions, and even the entire globe. Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems addresses these new areas of research. Economically important woody ecosystems are emphasized because they have substantial influence on global carbon...

Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests
ISBN: 9780521112840 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Prolonged seasonal drought affects most of the tropics, including vast areas presently or recently dominated by 'dry forests'. These forests have received scant attention, despite the fact that humans have used and changed them more than rain forests. This volume reviews the available information, often making contrasts with wetter forests. The world's dry forest heterogeneity of structure and function is shown regionally. In the neotropics, biogeographic patterns differ from those of wet forests, as does the spectrum of plant life-forms in terms of structure, physiology, phenology and...

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function
ISBN: 9783540581031 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 525 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The biota of the earth is being altered at an unprecedented rate. We are witnessing wholesale exchanges of organisms among geographic areas that were once totally biologically isolated. We are seeing massive changes in landscape use that are creating even more abundant succes sional patches, reductions in population sizes, and in the worst cases, losses of species. There are many reasons for concern about these trends. One is that we unfortunately do not know in detail the conse quences of these massive alterations in terms of how the biosphere as a whole operates or even, for that matter,...
