This book was released on 2002 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the International Earth Summit convened in Rio de Janeiro in 1994, all nations of the world were mandated to protect the environment for the benefit of present and future generations. This collection introduces the reader to the major issues involved in the management of a number of resources critical to Caribbean development. The chapters discuss the sustainability of water, fisheries and agriculture in the region from a variety of perspectives.

This book was released on 1998-11-15 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of two high-level, data-rich volumes from the massive Smithsonian/MAB Biological Diversity Program documenting the latest findings on forest biodiversity. In original contributions, some three hundred scientists from over forty countries discuss socioeconomic aspects, ecological monitoring and assessment, forest dynamics, growth trends, dry forests, species richness of woody regeneration and of vascular plants, hurricane impact, tropical cloud forests, Landsat-TM satellite mapping, and quantitative ethnobotany. The book covers first the research and monitoring methodologies for the New World and then the results of individual research and integrated studies on all aspects of forest biodiversity in North and South America and the Caribbean.

Download or read book On Land and Sea written by Lee A. Newsom and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2004-05-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the vast stretches of early geologic time, the islands of the Caribbean archipelago separated from continental land masses, rose and sank many times, merged with and broke from other land masses, and then by the mid-Cenozoic period settled into the current pattern known today. By the time Native Americans arrived, the islands had developed complex, stable ecosystems. The actions these first colonists took on the landscape—timber clearing, cultivation, animal hunting and domestication, fishing and exploitation of reef species—affected fragile land and sea biotic communities in both beneficial and harmful ways. On Land and Sea examines the condition of biosystems on Caribbean islands at the time of colonization, human interactions with those systems through time, and the current state of biological resources in the West Indies. Drawing on a massive data set collected from long-term archaeological research, the study reconstructs past lifeways on these small tropical islands. The work presents a wide range of information, including types of fuel and construction timber used by inhabitants, cooking techniques for various shellfish, availability and use of medicinal and ritual plants, the effects on native plants and animals of cultivation and domestication, and diet and nutrition of native populations. The islands of the Caribbean basin continue to be actively excavated and studied in the quest to understand the earliest human inhabitants of the New World. This comprehensive work will ground current and future studies and will be valuable to archaeologists, anthropologists, botanists, ecologists, Caribbeanists, Latin American historians, and anyone studying similar island environments.

Download or read book Foundations of Macroecology written by Felisa A. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroecology is an approach to science that emphasizes description and explanation of patterns and processes at large spatial and temporal scales. Some liken it to seeing the forest through the trees, an apt ecological use of the proverbial phrase. The term itself was introduced to modern literature by our authors James Brown and Brian Maurer, in a seminal science paper in 1989. We then published books by both of these authors, including Brown s Macroecology in 1995, which quickly traveled to the shelf of classics in ecology, credited with cohering and inspiring a subfield of ecology proper.While macroecology is to many a modern subfield, the large-scale perspective it advocates is implicit in earlier publications. For example, in 1898 de Liocourt studied the influence of management practices on the structure of French fir forests, and characterized the distribution of tree size in three different stands. His findings that in natural areas the number of trees declined exponentially with increasing diameter of the trunk allowed him to draw conclusions about the influence of management practices on tree distribution patterns. Similarly, other classic macroecological patterns including the species-area relationship, latitudinal gradient of species richness, relationship between body size and metabolic rate, species-abundance distribution, and species-body size distribution were identified decades, sometimes even centuries ago. Consequently, despite the scant twenty years that has elapsed since the term was coined, macroecology has a deep and rich history."Foundations of Macroecology" traces and coheres that history, charting an evolutionary trajectory to the rigorous macroecological research landscape science enjoys today. The forty-six papers span eight decades, from 1920 to 1998, and include divergent perspectives of space, time, and taxonomic and habitat affiliation. They are organized into two main parts: Macroecology before Macroecology and Dimensions of Macroecology. The latter is further subdivided into six sections reflecting the subject matter: Allometry and Body Size, Evolutionary Dynamics, Abundance and Distributions, Species Diversity, and Methodological Advances. For each reprinted paper, a macroecologist specializing in that area has written original commentary that places the paper in a broader context and explains why it is foundational. "
