Book Synopsis Biological Invasions, a Question of Nature and Society by : Robert Barbault
Download or read book Biological Invasions, a Question of Nature and Society written by Robert Barbault and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2011-01-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasions of introduced species cause varying degrees of harm on the ecosystems in question and it is up to society to deal with the consequences. How can we prevent biological invasions? How can we assess the risk they represent? What can be done to control current invasions? Aware of this problem, the Ministry of Ecology has requested a community of researchers from a variety of disciplines to decipher these questions using biological, sociological and economic approaches. Although the definitive response to the problems raised by invasive species in natural spaces is not provided here, undeniable progress in understanding mechanisms underlying these invasions can shed light on the decisions which have to be taken by environmental managers. Scientists, teachers and students will also find results and thought-processes in this book to supplement their knowledge.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La quatrième de couverture indique : "Manuel technique au service de l'aménagement et de la restauration des milieux aquatiques et des zones humides. Ce guide a été publié pour remédier à la méconnaissance des techniques douces et clarifier les solutions existantes, d'autant plus que le besoin d'information est grandissant. Nous avons identifié les principaux freins au recours à des techniques végétales et nous nous sommes efforcés d'apporter une réponse objective à chacune des questions soulevées par ces techniques. Depuis plus d'une décennie, la qualité croissante de notre offre, apporte aux maîtres d'oeuvre et entreprises, une véritable expertise. Désormais, la LEMA (Loi sur l'Eau et les Milieux Aquatiques) du 30 décembre 2006, apporte en plus, une légitimité technique et économique à ces solutions. Ce guide, avant tout méthodologique et pédagogique, a été élaboré avec l'objectif de faire mieux connaître les possibilités et limites des techniques végétales. L'objectif de ce document est de présenter, de manière pratique, les avantages, pièges et écueils en matière d'aménagement et protection de lacs et cours d'eau. Il constitue de plus, un outil pratique et vient appuyer notre mission de conseil. Ce guide abondamment illustré, fruit de la collaboration d'une équipe internationale pluridisciplinaire, propose diverses solutions ayant fait leurs preuves avec pour objectif la préservation et la mise en valeur optimale des milieux aquatiques. Destiné à constituer un support technique actualisé pour les concepteurs et gestionnaires, (maîtres d'ouvrage, maîtres d'oeuvre, techniciens de rivières, entreprises ou structures effectuant les travaux, partenaires institutionnels, etc.) intervenant dans les domaines de l'aménagement et de la restauration des milieux aquatiques : fleuves, rivières, canaux, lacs, étangs, zones humides, etc. Ce manuel pratique, livre plus de vingt-cinq ans d'expérience en matière de génie écologique, développé sur tout le territoire européen. Nous bénéficions ainsi du savoir-faire et de retour d'expérience de la péninsule ibérique et des pays d'Europe du Nord qui ont à leur actif de très nombreuses et fructueuses réalisations en technique végétale. Les méthodes proposées et illustrées dans cet ouvrage reposent sur la connaissance et la compréhension du fonctionnement naturel des écosystèmes, la sélection et la mise en oeuvre de choix techniques adaptés à la gestion et à la restauration des abords de cours d'eau, canaux et plans d'eau, alliés à un coût modéré. Ces solutions simples et éprouvées permettent la réalisation d'ouvrages fiables et compétitifs immédiatement efficaces en s'affranchissant des limites bien connues du génie végétal. Le guide AquaTerra des solutions douces pour l'aménagement des lacs et cours d'eau, propose en outre, de nombreux tableaux, des fiches techniques produits, un bordereau de prix, de nombreuses coupes techniques, des modèles de CCTP, un abondant glossaire et une cinquantaine de questions /réponses."

Book Synopsis The Natural History of Madagascar by : Steven M. Goodman
Download or read book The Natural History of Madagascar written by Steven M. Goodman and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Separated from the mainland of Africa for 160 million years, Madagascar has evolved an incredible wealth of biodiversity, with thousands of species that can be found nowhere else on earth. For instance, of its estimated 12,000 plant species, nearly 10,000 are unique to Madagascar. Malagasy animals are just as spectacular, from its almost forty currently recognized species of lemurs—a primate group found only here—to the numerous species of tiny dwarf chameleons. With astounding frequency scientists discover a previously unknown species in Madagascar—and at almost the same rate another natural area of habitat is degraded or destroyed, a combination that recently led conservation organizations to name Madagascar one of the most important and threatened conservation priorities on the planet. The Natural History of Madagascar provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date synthesis available of this island nation's priceless biological treasures. Contributions by nearly three hundred world-renowned experts cover the history of scientific exploration in Madagascar, its geology and soils, climate, forest ecology, human ecology, marine and coastal ecosystems, plants, invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Detailed discussions of conservation efforts in Madagascar highlight several successful park reserve programs that could serve as models for other areas. Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book includes over one hundred color illustrations, with fifty color photos by nature photographer Harald Schütz, as well as more than three hundred black-and-white photographs and line drawings. The Natural History of Madagascar will be the invaluable reference for anyone interested in the Malagasy environment, from biologists and conservationists to policymakers and ecotourists.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Convention on the conservation of nature and natural resources was adopted in 1968 in Algiers. Considered the most forward looking regional agreement of the time, it influenced significantly the development of environmental law in Africa. Two and a half decades of intense developments in international environmental law made it necessary to revise this treaty, update its provisions and enlarge its scope. This was undertaken under the auspices of the African Union (previously OAU), and the revision was adopted by its Heads of State and Government in July 2003 in Maputo. The introduction provides an overview of this new international treaty, as well as a commentary to each of its provisions.

Book Synopsis Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin by : F. di Castri
Download or read book Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin written by F. di Castri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the massive change in the area of distribution of many world biota across classical biogeographical realms, and of the drastic restructuring of the biotic components of numerous ecosystems, the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) decided at its general Assembly in Ottawa, Canada, in 1982 to launch a project on the 'Ecology of Biological Invasions'. Several regional meetings were subsequently organized within the framework of SCOPE, in order to single out the peculiarities of the invasions that took place in each region, the behaviour of their invasive species and the invasibility of their ecosystems. Most noteworthy among such workshops were one in Australia in August 1984, one concerning North America and Hawaii in October 1984, and one dealing with southern Africa in November 1985. A leitmotiv of these workshops was that most of the invasive species to those regions were emanating from Europe and the Mediterranean Basin, inadvertently or intentionally introduced by man. It was therefore considered as a timely endeavour to organize the next regional meeting in relation to this region. The workshop on 'Biological Invasions in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin' was held in Montpellier, France, 21 to 23 May 1986, thanks to the financial support of SCOPE and of the A.W. Mellon Foundation, and the logistic facilities of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (C.N .R.S.).

Book Synopsis Aquatic Ecosystem Research Trends by : George H. Nairne
Download or read book Aquatic Ecosystem Research Trends written by George H. Nairne and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses various freshwater ecosystems and methods used for the purposes of water quality monitoring, including those utilising aquatic macrophytes. Early-established management plans provide the first steps towards sustainable management of aquatic environments. Thus, the methods used for managing aquatic plants, including mechanical or manual harvesting, hand-pulling and biological control are discussed. The removal efficiency of nutrients and of metal by macrophytes is examined, as well as the potential use of these plants in wastewater treatment. This book surveys and critically reviews existing literature regarding the presence of steroid sex hormones in freshwater ecosystems, their sources and potential fate. Discharges from wastewater treatment plants and transport from agricultural operations are also examined. Finally, this book discusses the role of NF-kB inhibitors, an inducible transcription, in marine chemical ecology, as well as its role in biomedicine.
