Techniques in Mycorrhizal Studies
ISBN: 9789048159857 / Angielski / Miękka / 554 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The importance of mycorrhiza for the improvement of plant growth is increasingly being realised in Agriculture and Forestry and several mycorrhizal fungi have been commercially recognised for the purpose. The aim of this book is to describe the various techniques used to study the mycorrhizal biology. Problems with preparing such a book are many. Mainly mailing of manuscripts to and from authors resulted in irregular and final editing. Every effort was made not to change the peer review original manuscript to ensure accuracy. Our sole aims is to communicate to the greatest extent possible a...

The Ecology of River Systems
ISBN: 9789048185153 / Angielski / Miękka / 793 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our understanding of the ecology of running waters has come a long way during the past few years. From being a largely descriptive subject, with a few under tones concerned with such things as fisheries, pollution or control of blackflies, it has evolved into a discipline with hypotheses, such as the River Continuum Concept (Vannote et a/. 1980), and even a book suggesting that it offers opportunity for the testing of ecological theory (Barnes & Minshall 1983). However, perusal of the literature reveals that, although some of the very early studies were concerned with large rivers (references...

Nutrient Dynamics and Biological Structure in Shallow Freshwater and Brackish Lakes
ISBN: 9780792326779 / Angielski / Twarda / 507 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The nutrient dynamics and biological structure of shallow non-stratified lakes differ markedly from that of deep and stratified lakes: for example, the return of nutrients lost through sedimentation is faster and the potential importance of fish and submerged macrophytes as food-web regulators is greater. In addition shallow lakes are more easily influenced by fluctuations in the physical environment caused by wind disturbance, temperature change, etc. Although shallow lakes are often the most common lake type in lowland countries, less attention has been paid to them than to deep stratified...

Planthoppers: Their Ecology and Management
ISBN: 9781461360155 / Angielski / Miękka / 799 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Planthoppers include some of the most devastating pests of major agricultural crops throughout the world. One species, the rice brown planthopper, is among the most economically important pests in Asia. In past decades, government policies encouraged the control of rice planthoppers with synthetic pesticides, a tactic which promoted insecticide resistance and often led to the pesticide-induced resurgence of pest populations. To deter planthopper outbreaks, a more ecologically sound management strategy is being implemented, one based on a thorough investigation of population dynamics, natural...

Avian Migration
ISBN: 9783642077807 / Angielski / Miękka / 610 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. P. Berthold and E. Gwinnd Bird migration is an intriguing aspect of the living world - so much so that it has been investigated for as long, and as thoroughly, as almost any other natural phenomenon. Aristotle, who can count as the founder of scientific ornithology, paid very close attention to the migrations of the birds he ob- served, but it was not until the reign of Friedrich II, in the first half of the 13th century, that reliable data began to be obtained. From then on, the data- base grew rapidly. Systematic studies of bird migration were introduced when the Vogelwarte Rossitten was...
