Book Synopsis Ordination of Plant Communities by : R.H. Whittaker
Download or read book Ordination of Plant Communities written by R.H. Whittaker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large part of ecological research depends on use of two ap proaches to synthesizing information about natural communities: classification of communities (or samples representing these) into groups, and ordination (or arrangement) of samples in relation to environmental variables. A book published in 1973, 'Ordination and Classification of Communities,' sought to provide, through contributions by an international panel of authors, a coherent treatise on these methods. The book appeared then as Volume 5 of the Handbook of Vegetation Science, for which R. TuxEN is general editor. The desire to make this work more widely available in a less expensive form is one of the reasons for this second edition separating the articles on ordinction and on classification into two volumes. The other reason is the rapid advancement of understanding in the area of indirect ordination-mathematical techniques that seek to use measurements of samples from natural communities to produce arrangements that reveal environmental relationships of these communities. Such is the rate of change in this area that the last chapter on ordination in the first edition is already, 4 or 5 years after it was written, out of date; and new techniques of indirect ordination that could only be mentioned as possibilities in the first edition are becoming prominent in the field. In preparing the second edition the chapter on evaluation of ordinations has been rewritten, a new chapter on recent developments in continuous multivariate techniques has been included, and references to recent work have been added to other chapters.

Book Synopsis Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems by : Devan Allen McGranahan
Download or read book Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems written by Devan Allen McGranahan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems is brimming with intriguing ecological stories of how life has evolved with and diversified within the varied fire regimes that are experienced on earth. Moreover, the book places itself as a communication between students, fire scientists, and fire fighters, and each of these groups will find some familiar ground, and some challenging aspects in this text: something which ultimately will help to bring us closer together and enrich our different approaches to understanding and managing our changing planet. -- Sally Archibald, Professor, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Most textbooks are as dry as kindling and about as much fun to sink your teeth into. This is not that kind of textbook. Devan Allen McGranahan and Carissa L. Wonkka have taken a complex topic and somehow managed to synthesize it into a comprehensive, yet digestible form. This is a book you can read cover to cover – I know, I did it. As a result, I took an enlightening journey through the history and fundamentals of fire and its role in the natural and human world, ending with a thoughtful review of the evolving relationship between humans and wildland fire. -- Chris Helzer, Nebraska Director of Science, The Nature Conservancy, and author of The Prairie Ecologist blog Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems: Wildland Fire Science, Policy, and Management is intended for use in upper-level courses in fire ecology and wildland fire management and as a reference for researchers, managers, and other professionals involved with wildland fire science, practice, and policy. The book helps guide students and scientists to design and conduct robust wildland fire research projects and critically interpret and apply fire science in any management, education, or policy situation. It emphasizes variability in wildland fire as an ecological regime and provides tools for students, researchers, and managers to assess and connect fire environment and fire behaviour to fire effects. Fire has not only shaped social and ecological communities but pushed ecosystems beyond previous boundaries, yet understanding the nature and effects of fire as an ecological disturbance has been slow, hampered by the complexity of the dynamic interactions between vegetation and climate and the fear of the destruction fire can bring. This book will help those who study, manage, and use wildland fire to develop new answers and novel solutions, based on an understanding of how fire functions in natural and social environments. It reviews literature, synthesizes concepts, and identifies research gaps and policy needs. The text also explores the interaction of fire and human culture, demonstrating how fire policy can be made adaptable to cultural and socio-ecological objectives.

Book Synopsis Restoring Plant Communities for Multiple Ecosystem Functions After Natural Resource Development by : Kathryn Marie Barlow
Download or read book Restoring Plant Communities for Multiple Ecosystem Functions After Natural Resource Development written by Kathryn Marie Barlow and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural resource development is a significant contributor to terrestrial conversion globally. The ecosystem functions and services that are degraded or lost to extraction activities must be restored after development to regain ecological integrity in the surrounding landscape. Restoration of such highly disturbed ecosystems has historically been reactive, not proactive, and limited to site stabilization measures to control soil erosion. In addition to site stabilization, restoration must also prioritize setting the successional trajectory for plant communities that will provide for multiple ecosystem functions over time. The development of oil and gas reservoirs with low permeability and porosity, commonly referred to as unconventional production, has only become economically feasible in the last decade. Thus far, most measures to regulate and restore the terrestrial footprint of unconventional gas development in the Marcellus and Utica Shales in the northeastern United States have been reactive and limited in scope. Here, we aim to bring attention to the limited nature of the restoration approach and governing regulations, and offer alternatives from the perspective of restoration ecology. In Chapter Two, we report on the main drivers contributing to the spread of invasive plants along shale gas infrastructure, documenting the shift in plant community composition from a largely native forest to incursions of non-native plants. In Chapter Three, we provide an assessment of the establishment success of a native perennial plant mixture on compacted soils, typical conditions of shale gas well pads, as an alternative to the widespread use of non-native, cool season grasses and legumes. In Chapter Four, we report on a floristic survey of a gas pipeline corridor seeded with a similar native perennial mixture to assess the long-term assembly of these species across an environmental gradient. Finally, to address the limited scope of reclamation regulations we outline specific language and concepts in regulations pertaining to the earth disturbance activities of shale gas that are barriers to shifting the norms of reclamation to ecological restoration. This research highlights vegetation changes within the footprint of shale gas production. Non-native plants are recruited inadvertently via the high level of anthropogenic activities on drilling sites, and directly from restoration seed mixes. We demonstrate the potential for using native plants for restoration to set the successional trajectory for restoring multiple ecosystem functions beyond erosion control. However, restoration practices are unlikely to change at a scale that matters unless regulations address the lost value of terrestrial ecosystems.
