This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on estuaries of the east coast of India, and how changing biogeochemical dynamics as a result of climate change and human activity have impacted estuaries and other open water ecosystems. Though estuaries only cover a very small portion of the earth’s hydrosphere, they are some of the most biogeochemically active regions among the global water bodies. As such, this book focuses on estuaries of the east coast of India going all the way to the Bay of Bengal, which is the world's largest freshwater input from perennial rivers and rain-fed estuaries, and is therefore a unique area of study. Through its unique coverage of the Bay of Bengal in particular, the book presents a new perspective not present in the literature on estuary biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics. Moreover, the book addresses SDG 13 (Climate Action) and 14 (Life below Water), with a focus on ecosystem services of the natural aquatic system.The book will be useful to researchers, policy makers, coastal managers and marine sustainability scientists and organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we traverse the intricate tapestry of human existence, an inextricable bond exists between the environment and our health. This bond, woven with threads of complexity, interconnects the fabric of our well-being with the ecosystems surrounding us. With the acceleration in urbanization, resource consumption and economic growth, the environment often remains in the back seat. This book, titled "Environment and Human Health," is a humble attempt to seek insight into the intricate dynamics between environmental factors and human health. The journey commences with a concise review of the impact of particulate matter on human health, illuminating the pernicious effects of airborne pollutants on our well-being. From there, we further proceed to the semi-urban landscapes of West Bengal, India, where the interplay between traffic load and chlorophyll content of roadside plants unveils a narrative of ecological resilience amidst anthropogenic pressures. Venturing further into the realm of environmental challenges, we confront the spectre of fluoride contamination in groundwater, grappling with its source characterization and the associated health risks. Yet, amidst these challenges, glimmers of hope emerge as we explore sustainable solutions such as integrating Microbial Fuel Cells in wastewater treatment—a testament to human ingenuity in mitigating environmental degradation while safeguarding public health. The discourse then shifts to the insidious effects of airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on human health, underscoring the imperative of addressing industrial emissions to preserve human well-being. From the plains of West Bengal to the marshlands that teem with biodiversity, we confront the urgent need for robust legal mechanisms to protect these vital ecosystems, recognizing their indispensable role in sustaining human health and ecological balance. As we navigate through the narrative tapestry of this volume, we encounter a beacon of hope amidst the shadows of environmental degradation—the transformative potential of repurposing opencast coal pits for fish culture, offering not only sustenance but also a testament to the resilience of nature when nurtured with care. In compiling these scholarly endeavours lies a clarion call to action—a call to embrace a paradigm of stewardship, where preserving our environment is synonymous with safeguarding our health. For in the nexus of environment and human health lies the cornerstone of our shared prosperity and well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No realm on Earth elicits thoughts of paradise more than the tropics. The tropical marine realm is special in myriad ways and for many reasons from seas of higher latitude, in housing iconic habitats such as coral reefs, snow white beaches, crystal clear waters, mangrove forests, extensive and rich seagrass meadows and expansive river deltas, such as the exemplar, the Amazon. But the tropics also has an even more complex side: tropical waters give rise to cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons, and unique oceanographic phenomena including the El Niño- Southern Oscillation which affects global climate patterns. Tropical Marine Ecology documents the structure and function of tropical marine populations, communities, and ecosystems in relation to environmental factors including climate patterns and climate change, and patterns of oceanographic phenomena such as tides and currents and major oceanographic features, as well as chemical and geological drivers. The book focuses on estuarine, coastal, continental shelf and open ocean ecosystems. The first part of the book deals with the climate, physics, geology, and chemistry of the tropical marine environment. The second section focuses on the origins, diversity, biogeography, and the structure and distribution of tropical biota. The third part explores the rates and patterns of primary and secondary production, and their drivers, and the characteristics of pelagic and benthic food webs. The fourth part examines how humans are altering tropical ecosystems via unsustainable fisheries, the decline and loss of habitat and fragmentation, Further, pollution is altering an earth already in the throes of climate change. Tropical Marine Ecology is an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to tropical marine ecology for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. It is also a rich resource and reference work for researchers and professional managers in marine science.

Book excerpt: Redefining Diversity and Dynamics of Natural Resources Management in Asia, Volumes 1-4 brings together scientific research and policy issues across various topographical area in Asia to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues facing the region. Sustainable Natural Resources Management in Dynamic Southeast Asia, Volume 1, pulls together regional experts in the field to look specifically at sustainability issues across the region, to see what has been implemented, what the impacts have been, and what other options are available. In the race to be a developed region, many Southeast Asian countries have foregone natural resources through haphazard use. As a result, the people are faced with numerous environmental challenges, particularly deforestation and forest degradation, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, reduction in soil quality, and decreases in the quantity of available water. Community-based forest management is the involvement of local communities in the protection, conservation and management of public forests to prevent degradation through sustainable practices while still responding to the basic social and economic needs of local populations. When the people who depend on forest resources for their livelihoods are jointly responsible for managing and protecting them, they tend to do so in a more sustainable manner by focusing on the long-term benefits rather than the immediate short-term gains. However, when tenure rights are weak, unclear, or insecure, or offer limited benefits, people are incited in extracting more immediate benefits, resulting in suboptimal forest management and the reduction of carbon stocks. Features case studies that cover issues such as rising levels of deforestation, forest degradation, regional food security, ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, conflicts over natural resource use, water management issues, and impacts on local communities Includes contributions from local researchers who are dealing with these issues first hand, and on a daily basis Includes a comparative review on REDD+ implementation in different communities Focuses on sustainability issues across the region
