Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few publications exist in English on the landforms in the Federal Republic of Germany. It is hoped that this book, which is published in connection with the Second International Conference on Geomorphology (Frankfurt am Main, 1989) fills, to some extent, that gap. Following a general introduction, four papers describe and discuss the major land-form regions. They provide the background for the other papers and, in addition to covering basic factual information, also deal with major questions of landform development that have long been of particular interest to German geomorphologists. In the North German Lowlands, H. Liedtke discusses the chronology of the Pleistocene glaciations and the relationship between the age of glacial depositional landforms and their subsequent modification by non-glacial processes. In the Central Uplands north of the rivers Main and Nahe, W. Andres directs attention to the conflicting interpretations of the effects of tectonics and of past climates in the development of Tertiary planation surfaces and Quaternary river terraces. In the South German Scarplands, H. Bremer focuses on the role of structural and climatic controls in the long-term evolution of cuestas and valleys. K. Fischer discusses the effects of the complex nappe structure, of the lithology and of exogenic processes upon the landforms of the German Alps and the development of glacial, glaciofluvial and periglacial landforms in the Alpine Foreland. Most of the remaining papers are studies of smaller regions or local areas. Their sequence in this volume is arranged more or less regionally; their geographical locations are shown in fig.l (p.2). Several of these papers expand on themes in the general regional papers and examine, sometimes from differing points of view, particular aspects of landform development in detail. The wide variety of topics reflects in some measure the trends in geomorphological research in the Federal Republic. A number of the papers deal with structural landforms and their relationship to planation surfaces. Two papers discuss Pleistocene glacial and glacio-fluvial landforms in type regions of particular interest. Karst and paleo-karst landforms and processes are investigated in three papers, Quaternary valley development and present-day sediment yields in several others. The relationships between geomorphology and hydrology, geoecology and soils are considered in papers on groundwater quality, interflow, soil formation, soil erosion and the diagnostic value of loess. A brief paper reviews the status of geomorphological mapping in the Federal Republic.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 1970s, when signs of destabilization of forests became visible in Eu rope on a large scale, it soon became obvious that the syndrome called "forest de cline" was caused by a network of interrelated factors of abiotic and biotic origin. All attempts to explain the wide-spread syndrome by a single cause, and there were many of them, failed or can only be regarded as a single mosaic stone in the network of caus es behind the phenomenon. Forest ecosystems are highly complex natural or quasi natural systems, which exhibit different structures and functions and as a conse quence different resilience to internal or external stresses. Moreover, forest ecosys tems have a long history, which means that former impacts may act as predisposing factors for other stresses. The complexity and the different history of forest ecosys tems are two reasons that make it difficult to assess the actual state and future devel opment of forests. But there are two other reasons: one is the large time scale in which forests react, the other is the idiosyncrasy of the reactions on different sites. Due to the slow reaction and the regional complexity of the abiotic environment of forest ecosys tems, a profound analysis of each site and region is necessary to identify the underly ing causes and driving forces when attempting to overcome the destruction of forest ecosystems.

Download or read book Large Rivers written by Avijit Gupta and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management explores an important topic in geomorphology and sedimentology: the form and function of major rivers. Our knowledge of the big rivers of the world is limited. It is currently difficult to recognise large rivers of the past from relict sedimentary deposits or to structure management policies for long international rivers. This exciting book brings together a set of papers on large rivers of the world, as a unique introduction to a demanding subject. The book includes thirty chapters and is organised into three sections. The first part is on the environmental requirements for creating and maintaining a major river system. The second is a collection of case studies on 14 large rivers from different continents, covering a range of physical environments. The third section includes chapters on the measurement and management of large rivers. First book to offer in a single volume state-of-the-art knowledge on management and geomorphology of large rivers of the world A pioneering study, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge related to big rivers Includes comprehensive case studies covering the major large rivers of the world including Amazon, Mississippi, Nile, Congo, Indus, and Mekong Written by a leading team of distinguished, international contributors Large Rivers: Geomorphology and Management is essential reading for postgraduate students and researchers in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, sedimentary geology, and river management. It is also of relevance to engineers and environmental consultants in the private and public sectors working on major rivers of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a unique and comprehensive assessment of soil erosion throughout Europe, an important aspect to control and manage if landscapes are to be sustained for the future. Written in two parts, Soil Erosion in Europe primarily focuses on current issues, area specific soil erosion rates, on and off-site impacts, government responses, soil conservation measures, and soil erosion risk maps. The first part overviews the erosion processes and the problems encountered within each European country, whilst the second section takes a cross-cutting theme approach. Based on an EU-funded project that has been running for four years with erosion scientists from 19 countries Reviews contemporary erosion processes and rates on arable and rangeland in Europe Looks at current issues, such as socio-economic drivers, controlling factors specific to the country and changes in land use

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as far into the future as we can see, governments will probably topple, power will continue to exchange hands, the climate will undergo continuous change, and the global economy will ebb and flow like the oceans. But for the world's many diverse countries-whether they be highly industrialized or third world-one thing will always remain constant: the need to solve the planet's pressing soil and water conservation problems, as well as implement effective policies. But why do some policy initiatives succeed while others fail? Soil and Water Conservation Policies and Programs: Successes and Failures addresses this very question. Based on an international conference held in Prague, this book debates the strengths and weaknesses of soil and water conservation initiatives implemented in North America, Europe, and Australia. Soil and water conservation policies in the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, and other countries are examined through the eyes of technical and soil scientists. And the book also addresses specialized topics, such as agricultural pollution abatement in Poland, and private farmers and contemporary conservation subsidy programs in the Czech Republic. With its thorough treatment of the subject matter, Soil and Water Conservation Policies and Programs: Successes and Failures contributes to resolving one of the world's most pressing conservation issues.

Download or read book Zoogeomorphology written by David R. Butler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-05-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals as geomorphic agents have primarily been considered "curiosities" in the literature of geomorphology, whose spatial and quantitative influences have been seen as both limited and minor. Zoogeomorphology: Animals as Geomorphic Agents examines the distinct geomorphic influences of invertebrates, ectothermic vertebrates, birds, and mammals, and demonstrates the importance of animals as landscape sculptors. Specific processes associated with the diversity of animal influences in geomorphology are examined, including burrowing and denning, nesting, lithophagy and geophagy, wallowing and trampling, food caching, excavating for food, and dam building by beavers. Particular emphasis is placed on terrestrial animals, although aquatic animals are also discussed where appropriate. This book, which is the only one available wholly devoted to this topic, will interest graduate students and professional research workers in geomorphology, ecology, environmental science, physical geography, and geology.
