Book Synopsis Forêts alluviales d'Europe : Écologie, biogéographie, valeur intrinsèque by : SCHNITZLER-LENOBLE Annik
Download or read book Forêts alluviales d'Europe : Écologie, biogéographie, valeur intrinsèque written by SCHNITZLER-LENOBLE Annik and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2007-06-14 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mieux connaître le fonctionnement et la valeur intrinsèque des forêts alluviales d'Europe est essentiel pour aider les scientifiques, les naturalistes, les gestionnaires et les décideurs politiques à les préserver dans leur intégralité. L'enjeu est donc à la fois écologique et économique. Si la connaissance des grands fleuves a beaucoup progressé, il n'en reste pas moins que les forêts riveraines sont souvent négligées ou considérées pour leur seule valeur économique. Or, ces écosystèmes restent parmi les plus complexes et les plus riches en espèces de l'Europe, et leur renouvellement dépend étroitement du système pulsé du fleuve. Cet ouvrage est une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur les forêts alluviales, largement illustré de photos et de schémas. Il s'adresse aux étudiants, aux chercheurs, aux enseignants, aux gestionnaires d'espaces naturels alluviaux, aux associations de protection de la nature et plus généralement à un public désireux de comprendre des écosystèmes exceptionnels.
Book Synopsis Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité by : BOUZILLÉ Jan-Bernard
Download or read book Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité written by BOUZILLÉ Jan-Bernard and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2007-07-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mise en place du réseau des zones spéciales de conservation par le biais de l'opération Natura 2000, l'établissement des plans de gestion des parcs nationaux et des réserves naturelles de France, le transfert aux régions de la responsabilité de sites sensibles les nombreux programmes de sauvegarde de la biodiversité nécessitent la mise en uvre d'outils et de démarches pratiques peu intégrés dans la formation actuelle des écologistes. Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité vient combler cette lacune : en s'appuyant sur les concepts les plus récents de l'écologie des communautés, de l'écologie de la conservation et de la restauration, ainsi que de la phytosociologie cet ouvrage s'attache à l'élaboration de démarches raisonnées pour définir des modalités appropriées de gestion des habitats naturels. Gestion des habitats naturels et biodiversité vise un double objectif : présenter précisément des méthodes de travail pour donner au lecteur les moyens de les mettre en uvre pratiquement , exposer des concepts actuels indispensables pour conduire des opérations de gestion qui respectent une démarche scientifique raisonnée et rigoureuse. La première partie de l'ouvrage traite de l'identification des habitats en ayant recours aux démarches de la phytosociologie. L'auteur réintroduit cette discipline en tant que maillon essentiel de la connaissance des milieux et propose des informations pratiques permettant d'en exploiter les résultats (méthodes d'analyse numérique, utilisation des logiciels). Cet ouvrage est le premier à proposer un tel apprentissage à ces méthodes. Le deuxième volet du livre faire le point sur les concepts les plus récents de l'écologie des communautés, en particulier des communautés végétales. De même sont présentés les derniers développements de l'écologie de la conservation et de la restauration. S'appuyant sur des références internationales, les démarches scientifiques proposées sont inédites en langue française.

Book Synopsis Conservation of Endangered Freshwater Fish in Europe by : Arthur Kirchhofer
Download or read book Conservation of Endangered Freshwater Fish in Europe written by Arthur Kirchhofer and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two events have recently improved the prospects of protecting fish and their environment in Switzerland: the acceptance of a new Federal Water Protection Law in the plebiscite of May 17th 1992, and the new Federal Legislation on Fisheries, in force since January 1st 1994. With this legal framework, the possibilities for protection of nature and landscape have now considerably improved in Switzerland. The most important aims of the Federal Law on Water Protection are to safeguard the natural habitats of the native flora and fauna and water as the habitat of aquatic organisms. This includes not only the preservation or restoration of water quality in lakes and rivers, but also, in rivers used for hydroelectricity, irrigation or as industrial or other water supplies, the maintenance of sufficient water to fulfill the minimal requirements for fish. However, good quality water in sufficient quan tities alone is not enough to guarantee the survival of fish. Intact fish habitats comprise various phYsical structures including plenty of hiding places, hunting grounds, reproduction and nursery areas within suitable distances from each other. This third aspect of conservation and restoration of aquatic habitats is a central point in the new Federal Law on Fisheries. Whereas the former versions of this law were more concerned with fishery regulations, the recent legislation defines new areas of responsibility for the federal and the cantonal governments.

Book Synopsis Ecology of Central European Forests by : Christoph Leuschner
Download or read book Ecology of Central European Forests written by Christoph Leuschner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 998 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook in two volumes synthesises our knowledge about the ecology of Central Europe’s plant cover with its 7000-yr history of human impact, covering Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Based on a thorough literature review with 5500 cited references and nearly 1000 figures and tables, the two books review in 26 chapters all major natural and man-made vegetation types with their climatic and edaphic influences, the structure and dynamics of their communities, the ecophysiology of important plant species, and key aspects of ecosystem functioning. Volume I deals with the forests and scrub vegetation and analyses the ecology of Central Europe’s tree flora, whilst Volume II is dedicated to the non-forest vegetation covering mires, grasslands, heaths, alpine habitats and urban vegetation. The consequences of over-use, pollution and recent climate change over the last century are explored and conservation issues addressed.
Book Synopsis Riparian Areas by : National Research Council
Download or read book Riparian Areas written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.

Book Synopsis Fluvial Remote Sensing for Science and Management by : Patrice Carbonneau
Download or read book Fluvial Remote Sensing for Science and Management written by Patrice Carbonneau and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive overview of progress in the general area of fluvial remote sensing with a specific focus on its potential contribution to river management. The book highlights a range of challenging issues by considering a range of spatial and temporal scales with perspectives from a variety of disciplines. The book starts with an overview of the technical progress leading to new management applications for a range of field contexts and spatial scales. Topics include colour imagery, multi-spectral and hyper-spectral imagery, video, photogrammetry and LiDAR. The book then discusses management applications such as targeted, network scale, planning, land-use change modelling at catchment scales, characterisation of channel reaches (riparian vegetation, geomorphic features) in both spatial and temporal dimensions, fish habitat assessment, flow measurement, monitoring river restoration and maintenance and, the appraisal of human perceptions of riverscapes. Key Features: • A specific focus on management applications in a period of increasing demands on managers to characterize river features and their evolution at different spatial scales • An integration across all scales of imagery with a clear discussion of both ground based and airborne images • Includes a wide-range of environmental problems • Coverage of cutting-edge technology • Contributions from leading researchers in the field
Book Synopsis Riparian Landscapes by : George Patrick Malanson
Download or read book Riparian Landscapes written by George Patrick Malanson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-05-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riparian Landscapes examines the ecological systems of streamside and floodplain areas from the perspective of landscape ecology. The specific spatial pattern of riparian vegetation is seen as a result of, and a control on, the ecological, geomorphological, and hydrological processes that operate along rivers. Riparian structures are controlled by the spatial dynamics of channels, flooding and soil moisture. These dynamics are part of integrated cascades of water, sediment, nutrients and carbon, to which animal and plant species respond in ways that illuminate community structure and competition. The role of the riparian zone in controlling species distribution and abundance is discussed. Intelligent management of these valuable ecological resources is highlighted. The potential for linking hydrological, geomorphological and ecological simulation models is also explored. This book will be of interest to graduate and professional research workers in environmental science, ecology and physical geography.

Download or read book Hierarchy written by T. F. H. Allen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although complexity surrounds us, its inherent uncertainty, ambiguity, and contradiction can at first make complex systems appear inscrutable. Ecosystems, for instance, are nonlinear, self-organizing, seemingly chaotic structures in which individuals interact both with each other and with the myriad biotic and abiotic components of their surroundings across geographies as well as spatial and temporal scales. In the face of such complexity, ecologists have long sought tools to streamline and aggregate information. Among them, in the 1980s, T. F. H. Allen and Thomas B. Starr implemented a burgeoning concept from business administration: hierarchy theory. Cutting-edge when Hierarchy was first published, their approach to unraveling complexity is now integrated into mainstream ecological thought. This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition of Hierarchy reflects the assimilation of hierarchy theory into ecological research, its successful application to the understanding of complex systems, and the many developments in thought since. Because hierarchies and levels are habitual parts of human thinking, hierarchy theory has proven to be the most intuitive and tractable vehicle for addressing complexity. By allowing researchers to look explicitly at only the entities and interconnections that are relevant to a specific research question, hierarchically informed data analysis has enabled a revolution in ecological understanding. With this new edition of Hierarchy, that revolution continues.
