Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Fuel Properties of Ponderosa Pine Forest Floors and Cheatgrass Like most living things, forest and range fuels are assortments of plant parts and have definite bodily form depending on inherent qualities and environmental condi tions. The individual plant is composed of distinctly different parts or organs; for example, flowers, stems, leaves, roots, buds, petioles, bark, and thorns. The wide variety of living and dead plant parts that exist are actually fuel particles of varying sizes and shapes. A collection of fuel particles can be termed a fuel complex.

This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimating Ponderosa Pine Fuel Moisture Using National Fire-Danger Rating Moisture Values The stand consisted basically of two distinct matu rity groups (fig. Open groups were dominated by large, old growth ponderosa pine with a sparse pine seedling understory. These groups averaged about 600 trees per acre with 206 square feet of basal area per acre. Surface fuels were exposed to many hours of direct sunlight and direct rainfall. Closed groups were characterized by dense, overstocked clumps of ponder osa pine saplings, often referred to as dog-hair thickets. The average density was trees per acre with a basal area of 186 square feet per acre. With the thick canopy cover, fuels were exposed to little sunlight, and rainfall was dispersed through the canopy. Because of the obvious group differences, sam pling was stratified by maturity group. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fire written by Stephen J. Pyne and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over vast expanses of time, fire and humanity have interacted to expand the domain of each, transforming the earth and what it means to be human. In this concise yet wide-ranging book, Stephen J. Pyne—named by Science magazine as “the world’s leading authority on the history of fire”—explores the surprising dynamics of fire before humans, fire and human origins, aboriginal economies of hunting and foraging, agricultural and pastoral uses of fire, fire ceremonies, fire as an idea and a technology, and industrial fire. In this revised and expanded edition, Pyne looks to the future of fire as a constant, defining presence on Earth. A new chapter explores the importance of fire in the twenty-first century, with special attention to its role in the Anthropocene, or what he posits might equally be called the Pyrocene.
Book Synopsis Dryland Ecohydrology by : Paolo D'Odorico
Download or read book Dryland Ecohydrology written by Paolo D'Odorico and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecohydrology emerges as a new field of research aiming at furthering our understanding of the earth system through the study of the interactions between the water cycle and vegetation. By combining the analysis of biotic and abiotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, this volume provides a synthesis of material on arid and semiarid landscapes, which is currently spread in a number of books and journal articles. The focus on water-limited ecosystems is motivated by their high sensitivity to daily, seasonal, and decadal perturbations in water availability, and by the ecologic, climatic, and economic significance of most of the drylands around the world. Conceived as a tool for scientists working in the area of the earth and environmental sciences, this book presents the basic principles of eco-hydrology as well as a broad spectrum of topics and advances in this research field. The chapters collected in this book have been contributed by authors with different expertise, who work in several arid areas around the World. They describe the various interactions among the biological and physical dynamics in dryland ecosystems, starting from basic processes in the soil-vegetation-climate system, to landscape-scale hydrologic and geomorphic processes, ecohydrologic controls on soil nutrient dynamics, and multiscale analyses of disturbances and patterns.
Book Synopsis Mountains in the Greenhouse by : Donald McKenzie
Download or read book Mountains in the Greenhouse written by Donald McKenzie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for general readers with an interest in science, and offers the tools and ideas for understanding how climate change will affect mountains of the American West. A major goal of the book is to provide material that will not become quickly outdated, and it does so by conveying its topics through constants in ecological science that will remain unchanged and scientifically sound. The book is timely in its potential to be a long-term contribution, and is designed to inform the public about climate change in mountains accessibly and intelligibly. The major themes of the book include: 1) mountains of the American West as natural experiments that can distinguish the effects of climate change because they have been relatively free from human-caused changes, 2) mountains as regions with unique sensitivities that may change more rapidly than the Earth as a whole and foreshadow the nature and magnitude of change elsewhere, and 3) different interacting components of ecosystems in the face of a changing climate, including forest growth and mortality, ecological disturbance, and mountain hydrology. Readers will learn how these changes and interactions in mountains illuminate the complexity of ecological changes in other contexts around the world.

Download or read book Ecoregions written by Robert G. Bailey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming and human-driven impacts are changing the World’s ecological zones. This book applies the principles described in Bailey’s Ecosystem Geography: From Ecoregions to Sites, 2nd ed. (Springer 2009, 1st ed. 1996) to describe and characterize the major terrestrial and aquatic ecological zones of the Earth. Bailey’s system for classifying these zones has been adopted by major organizations such as the U.S. Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy and this book is a significant contribution to a long tradition of classifying and studying the world’s ecological regions or ecoregions. It includes two color maps that show the major ecoregions of the continents and oceans. Also included are: - 106 illustrations with 55 in full color - A new chapter on mountains is included. - There are new sections that address concerns about how eco regions are changing under the relentless influence of humans and climate change - Another new feature is the discussion of using eco regional patterns to transfer research results and select sites for detecting climate change effects on ecosystem distribution - Use of ecoregional patterns to design monitoring networks and sustainable landscapes - Fire regimes in different regional ecosystems and their management implications.
Book Synopsis Non-Chemical Weed Control by : Khawar Jabran
Download or read book Non-Chemical Weed Control written by Khawar Jabran and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Chemical Weed Control is the first book to present an overview of plant crop protection against non-food plants using non-chemical means. Plants growing wild—particularly unwanted plants found in cultivated ground to the exclusion of the desired crop—have been treated with herbicides and chemical treatments in the past. As concern over environmental, food and consumer safety increases, research has turned to alternatives, including the use of cover crops, thermal treatments and biotechnology to reduce and eliminate unwanted plants. This book provides insight into existing and emerging alternative crop protection methods and includes lessons learned from past methodologies. As crop production resources decline while consumer concerns over safety increase, the effective control of weeds is imperative to insure the maximum possible levels of soil, sunlight and nutrients reach the crop plants. Allows reader to identify the most appropriate solution based on their individual use or case Provides researchers, students and growers with current concepts regarding the use of modern, environment-friendly weed control techniques Presents methods of weed management—an important part of integrated weed management in the future Exploits the knowledge gained from past sustainable weed management efforts
