Hydro-Climatic Response to Atmospheric Forcing in Colombia
ISBN: 9783639135091 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In tropical South America, weather and climate are affected by the meridional oscillation of the inter- tropical convergence zone, the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Amazon basin, and the Andes Mountains. The dominant mode of the inter-annual climate variability in this region is the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. Colombia is among the South American countries that experiences large climate anomalies because of ENSO. However, the hydrologic response in Colombia to a particular ENSO event is highly complex and non-linear. To describe the hydrologic response in Colombia, a...

Statistical Significance Of Predicted Earthquake Occurrence
ISBN: 9783639195736 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day and almost any method for predicting earthquakes will succeed occasionally, whether the methods have merit or not. Qiang et al. (2001) successfully predicted 100 earthquakes that is based on a predicted increase of ground temperatures in the lower atmosphere from 2 to 8 days before a large scale earthquake. Despite their apparent success at predicting the earthquakes, they did not compare their prediction with the natural rate of occurrence in the area, which experiences an earthquake of Richter magnitude greater than 4 every week. This book compares...

Comparison of Degraded and Restored Peatland
ISBN: 9783639192025 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Restoration of degraded peatlands is seen as the ideal solution for management of such environments (Anderson et al 2006), with the potential benefit being the return of peatland to being a sink of carbon dioxide. As peatlands are the single largest carbon reserve in the UK it is necessary that an understanding of the impact of restorative efforts is gained. Efforts to assess restoration have largely been made on the basis of vegetation recovery; few studies have been made on the physio-chemical conditions of restored peatlands (Anderson et al 2006) which are crucial to the health of the...

Ecological impacts of cockle fishing in Poole Harbour, UK
ISBN: 9783639191400 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poole Harbour (UK), one of the worlds largest natural harbours, supports terrestrial and marine habitats that are protected under National, European and International designations. Recent introduction of mechanical dredging in the cockle (Cerastoderma edule) fishery raised concerns among conservation groups that this new method may have a damaging effect on infaunal benthic communities that form critical food resources for shorebirds. This research investigated ecological impacts of cockle dredging on infaunal communities, using statistical analysis to look at community change in...

Biological Tests for the Immobilization of Heavy Metals
ISBN: 9783639206999 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work presented here encompasses three experiments involving soils contaminated with As, Cd, Cr and Pb. One experiment involved bioassays to determine the toxicity and bioavailability of metals after chemical amendment were added to the soil for immobilizing As, Cd, Cr and Pb. The second experiment considered metal-spiked soil heterogeneously placed in a column of soil and the subsequent effects on maize and wheat root growth. The final study involved maize root growth in two contaminated soils collected from the field with and without addition of ameliorative chemical amendments to...

Communal Lands in the Semi-arid Region of Chile
ISBN: 9783639186260 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the drylands of northern Chile land was utilized as a source of minerals, meat, wheat, and timber since the colonial period. These extractive processes caused the destruction of most of the natural vegetation. Impacts of past use have persisted until today, partly because of multi-year dry spells. Landsat satellite imagery shows that vegetation response increases marginally during rainy years, mainly explained by the planting of rainfed wheat, while natural vegetation responds weakly on both private and communal lands. In the agricultural communes families are poor or...
