This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALEXANDER GILLESPIE & WILLIAM C.G. BURNS The idea for this book grew out of the Ecopolitics conference in Canberra, Australia in 1996. The conference captured the ferment of the climate change debate in the South Pacific, as well as some its potential implications for the region’s inhabitants and e- systems. At that conference, one of the editors (Gillespie) delivered a paper on climate change issues in the region, as did Ros Taplin and Mark Diesendorf, who are also c- tributors to this volume. This book focuses on climate change issues in Australia, New Zealand, and the small island nations in the Pacific as the world struggles to cope with possible the impacts of environmental change and to formulate effective responses. While Australia and New Zealand’s per capita emissions of greenhouse gases are among the highest in the world, their aggregate contributions are small. However, both nations may exert a disprop- tionate influence in the global greenhouse debate because their obstinate positions at recent conferences of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on C- mate Change (FCCC) may provide justification for other developed nations, as well as developing countries, to refuse to make meaningful reductions in their greenhouse gas emissions.

Download or read book Forestry in a Global Context written by Roger Sands and published by CABI. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of hunter-gatherers to the present day, forests have played a vital role in the development of humanity and society. This broad introductory textbook sets world forestry in a social, environmental, historical, and economic context. The development of forests, grassland and humans is described from the Devonian through to the Age of Agriculture, covering the factors determining the distribution of forests, the classification of forest types, the value and benefits of the forest and the products of the forest and their associated trade. The book also explores issues such as sustainable forest management, current patterns of deforestation and reforestation, and future challenges facing our forests. Fully updated throughout and with new contributions from international experts, this second edition includes new chapters on climate change and international forest policy, and expanded coverage of forest products and bioenergy production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing need to take an holistic view of landslide hazard and risk, this book overviews the concept of risk research and addresses the sociological and psychological issues resulting from landslides. Its integrated approach offers understanding and ability for concerned organisations, landowners, land managers, insurance companies and researchers to develop risk management solutions. Global case studies illustrate a variety of integrated approaches, and a concluding section provides specifications and contexts for the next generation of process models.

Download or read book Phosphorus in Environmental Technology written by E. Valsami-Jones and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2004-05-31 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phosphorus in Environmental Technology: Principles and Applications, provides a definitive and detailed presentation of state-of-the-art knowledge on the environmental behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to the treatment of waters and soils. Special attention is given to phosphorus removal for recovery technologies, a concept that has emerged over the past 5-6 years. The book features an all-encompassing approach: the fundamental science of phosphorus (chemistry, geochemistry, mineralogy, biology), key aspects of its environmental behaviour and mobility, industrial applications (treatment, removal, recovery) and the principles behind such applications, novel biotechnologies and, importantly, it also addresses socio-economic issues which often influence implementation and the ultimate success of any new technology. A detailed subject index helps the reader to find their way through the different scientific and technological aspects covered, making it an invaluable reference work for students, professionals and consultants dealing with phosphorus-related environmental technologies. State-of-the-art knowledge on the behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to environmental science and technology. Covers all aspects of phosphorus in the environment, engineered and biological systems; an interdisciplinary text.

Download or read book Assessing the Sustainability of Management Practices for Planted Forests Across an Environmental Gradient in New Zealand written by Alicia L. Kiyvyra and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable management of planted forests requires maintenance of soil function to promote 1) root growth; 2) storage and cycling of water and nutrients; 3) optimal gas exchange; and 4) biological activity. Soil quality measurements can be used to monitor short- and long-term changes in these soil functions, allowing managers to track sustainability elements over time. I measured selected key soil processes (nitrogen (N) mineralization, decomposition, and soil water dynamics) which regulate soil function during the final year of growth (year 4) on highly stocked plots (40,000 stems ha−1) at ten sites distributed across New Zealand in order to investigate impacts of soil disturbance (low vs. high), fertilization (fertilization vs. none), and tree species selection (Pinus Radiata D.Don vs. Cupressus lusitanica Mill.) on those soil processes. Secondly, I developed a quantitative forest soil quality index (FSQI) that is applicable across the complex environmental gradient in New Zealand. Treatment effects on N mineralization and decomposition were site-specific. Effects of soil disturbance depended on initial soil physical conditions, rainfall patterns, or soil fertility levels. Fertilization effects were most often observed at sites with low fertility. Tree species effects were more pronounced at sites with low rainfall, low soil N, and low sum of bases (Ca, Mg, K, Na). Response of soil water dynamics to treatments was consistent across the gradient. P. radiata had more optimal conditions compared to C.lusitanica, whereas fertilized plots had more days with wet soil conditions and fewer days with dry soil conditions compared to unfertilized plots. These results suggest that site-specific recommendations are necessary for appropriate management of N mineralization and decomposition processes, whereas a more general approach is sufficient when considering soil water dynamics. The FSQI developed through this research was based on sufficiency levels of key soil (A horizon depth, bulk density, C:N ratio, Olsen P) and climate (air temperature) indicators for forest productivity, and provided data for calculation of forest soil quality of both P. radiata and C. lusitanica plantations, with and without fertilization. The final FSQI was correlated with tree growth and soil processes, and provides a useful tool for measuring soil resource sustainability elements in New Zealand.
