Allelopathy in Agroecosystems
ISBN: 9781560220916 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Discover environmentally safe ways to control weeds and pests Until now farmers have had to choose between using expensive herbicides and fertilizers, which pollute the water table, or watching crop yields drop. All too often, crop yields dropped anyway, despite intensive farming. Allelopathy in Agroecosystems offers fresh hope. It provides an in-depth understanding of allelopathy-the mysterious, complex biochemical interactions among plants and microbes. This little-understood phenomenon plays a large role in agriculture, for good or ill. It can lead to changes in nutrient dynamics,...

Patterns and Processes in Forest Landscapes: Multiple Use and Sustainable Management
ISBN: 9781402085031 / Angielski / Twarda / 425 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Increasing evidence suggests that the composition and spatial configuration the pattern of forest landscapes affect many ecological processes, including the movement and persistence of particular species, the susceptibility and spread of disturbances such as fires or pest outbreaks, and the redistribution of matter and nutrients. Understanding these issues is key to the successful management of complex, multifunctional forest landscapes, and landscape ecology, based on a foundation of island bio-geography and meta-population dynamic theories, provides the rationale to deal with this...

Approaching Ecosystem Management - Change and Challenge in Forest Planning in the US Forest Service
ISBN: 9783639011241 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The U.S. Forest Service adopted ecosystem management as its official forest management approach in 1992, and required that ecosystem management be incorporated into all its forest management plans. This study analyzes the efforts of the Forest Service to do this. The analysis shows that although there are inconsistencies throughout the Forest Service and even throughout the forest plans themselves, there is a general historical trend reflecting increasing levels of inclusion of ecosystem management. There are several challenges that the agency faces if it remains committed to sustainable...

There is dismay, followed by outcry, and demands to Authority. Authority remembers its experts or appoints some: they ought to know. The experts advise a Cure. The Cure can be almost anything: holy water from Mecca, a Government Commis sion, a culture of bacteria, poison, prayers denunciatory or tactful, a new god, a trap, a Pied Piper. The Cures have only one thing in common: with a little patience they always work. They have never been known entirely to fail. Likewise they have never been known to prevent the next outbreak. For the cycle of abundance...

Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture: Extended Versions of Papers Presented in the Symposium, Role of Biological Nitrogen Fixation
ISBN: 9780792317746 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chemical fertilizers have had a significant impact on food production in the recent past, and are today an indispensable part of modern agriculture. On the other hand, the oil crisis of the 1970s and the current Middle East problems are constant reminders of the vulnerability of our fossil fuel dependent agriculture. There are vast areas of the developing world where N fertilizers are neither available nor affordable and, in most of these countries, balance of payment problems have resulted in the removal of N fertilizer subsidies. The external costs of environmental degradation and human...

Forest Property Rights
ISBN: 9783639090598 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past 100 years forest property regimes changed from the one to the other, each time alienating communities & generating conflicts. The State s liberal distribution of natural forests (1940-60) created individual forest property regimes over large area. The State, however, failed to regulate utilization, ensuing widespread deforestation. The 1975 nationalization act & the subsequent policies further alienated users. At present conflicts over forest has become a defining factor of the relations between and among forest users. The creation & upholding of property institutions have always...

It brings together forest valuations at the national level from 18 Mediterranean countries, based on extensive local data collection, and thus allows comprehensive analyses within countries as well as comparative analyses across countries. Forest benefits were classified within the Total Economic Value (TEV) framework.

Transgenic Crops of the World: Essential Protocols
ISBN: 9781402023323 / Angielski / Twarda / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the first transgenic plants were produced back in the early 1980s, there have been substantial developments towards the genetic engineering of most crops of our world. Initial studies using isolated plant cells and removing their cell walls to form protoplasts, offered the possibility of transferring genetic material by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer, chemical agents or electrical charges. However, in those cases were isolated protoplasts could be transformed, often, a shoot regeneration system was not available to induce the production of transgenic plants and any such...

Green Manure/Cover Crop Systems of Smallholder Farmers: Experiences from Tropical and Subtropical Regions
ISBN: 9781402020452 / Angielski / Twarda / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1980s and 1990s, green manure/cover crop (GMCC) systems became a popular agricultural technology in research and development efforts for smallholder tropical and subtropical farmers.

Twelve case studies are included. Eleven of them describe experiences from Latin America (4 cases), Africa (6 cases) and Asia (1 case) and the twelfth case reports on the development of a GMCC systems database. Two...
