Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exclosures and Natural Areas on Rangelands in Utah Exclosures, natural areas, and other types of areas that have received either little or no use by domestic livestock have long been used as reference areas by range managers and scientists. The importance of exclosures in range management was dis cussed by Williams (1962) and a summary of the importance of natural areas in the evaluation of the grazing resources of North America was presented by Anderson (1966) The need for a listing of exclosures and natural areas in any specific area has been recognized. For the land manager, knowledge of an existing exclosure may make erection of additional exclosures unnecessary. For the research worker, such a list may provide locations of areas relatively undisturbed by domestic livestock for ecological studies. A list of all livestock and big game exclosures in Wyoming was published by Williams Young (1958) prepared a list of 36 big game exclosures in Utah but the list was not intended to be a complete inventory, did not include livestock exclosures or natural areas, and has not been updated. Because of the need for knowledge about exclosures and natural areas, the American Society of Range Management initiated a Reference Area program. Included among this program's Objectives is the compilation of a comprehensive list of existing exclosures and natural areas on rangelands in North America. Anderson (1966) described the goals of this program. The list presented here is part of the Reference Area program and it includes all known fenced areas in Utah protected from grazing by either livestock or big game as well as larger natural areas that are thought to have received little or no use by domestic livestock because of natural barriers or inaccessibility. In addition, some watershed basins along the Wasatch front from which grazing has been excluded for many years are also included. The exclosures and natural areas are grouped under the agency which administers' or controls the land on which they occur and are further subdivided under districts in the case of the National Forests and Bureau of Land Management. Where an agency other than the land managing agency was involved in the construction, maintenance, or record keeping, the cooperating agency is indicated in parentheses by the following abbrevia tions after the name of the exclosure.

Book Synopsis Conservation Biology for All by : Navjot S. Sodhi
Download or read book Conservation Biology for All written by Navjot S. Sodhi and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation Biology for All provides cutting-edge but basic conservation science to a global readership. A series of authoritative chapters have been written by the top names in conservation biology with the principal aim of disseminating cutting-edge conservation knowledge as widely as possible. Important topics such as balancing conversion and human needs, climate change, conservation planning, designing and analyzing conservation research, ecosystem services, endangered species management, extinctions, fire, habitat loss, and invasive species are covered. Numerous textboxes describing additional relevant material or case studies are also included. The global biodiversity crisis is now unstoppable; what can be saved in the developing world will require an educated constituency in both the developing and developed world. Habitat loss is particularly acute in developing countries, which is of special concern because it tends to be these locations where the greatest species diversity and richest centres of endemism are to be found. Sadly, developing world conservation scientists have found it difficult to access an authoritative textbook, which is particularly ironic since it is these countries where the potential benefits of knowledge application are greatest. There is now an urgent need to educate the next generation of scientists in developing countries, so that they are in a better position to protect their natural resources.

Book Synopsis Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice by : Monica G. Turner
Download or read book Landscape Ecology in Theory and Practice written by Monica G. Turner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ideal text for students taking a course in landscape ecology. The book has been written by very well-known practitioners and pioneers in the new field of ecological analysis. Landscape ecology has emerged during the past two decades as a new and exciting level of ecological study. Environmental problems such as global climate change, land use change, habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity have required ecologists to expand their traditional spatial and temporal scales and the widespread availability of remote imagery, geographic information systems, and desk top computing has permitted the development of spatially explicit analyses. In this new text book this new field of landscape ecology is given the first fully integrated treatment suitable for the student. Throughout, the theoretical developments, modeling approaches and results, and empirical data are merged together, so as not to introduce barriers to the synthesis of the various approaches that constitute an effective ecological synthesis. The book also emphasizes selected topic areas in which landscape ecology has made the most contributions to our understanding of ecological processes, as well as identifying areas where its contributions have been limited. Each chapter features questions for discussion as well as recommended reading.

Download or read book Weed Management Handbook written by Robert E. L. Naylor and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weed Management Handbook updates the 8th edition of Weed Control Handbook (1990). The change in the title and contents of the book from previous editions reflects both the current emphasis on producing crops in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner, and the new weed management challenges presenting themselves. This landmark publication contains cutting edge chapters, each written by acknowledged experts in their fields and carefully drawn together and edited by Professor Robert Naylor, known and respected world-wide for his knowledge of the area. The sequence of chapters included reflects a progression from the biology of weeds, through the underpinning science and technology relating to weed management techniques including herbicides and their application to crops, leading to principles of weed management techniques. Finally a set of relevant case studies describes the main management options available and addresses the challenges of reduced chemical options in many crops. Weed Management Handbook is a vital tool for all those involved in the crop protection / agrochemical industry, including business managers, horticultural and agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, botanists and those studying and teaching BASIS courses. As an important reference guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying horticultural and agricultural sciences, plant physiology, botany and crop protection, copies of the book should be available on the shelves of all research establishments and universities where these subjects are studied and taught. Weed Management Handbook is published for the British Crop Protection Council (BCPC) by Blackwell Publishing.

This book was released on 2007-10-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With detailed data from nine sites around the world, the authors examine how the so-called ‘fragmentation’ of these fragile landscapes occurs and the consequences of this break-up for ecosystems and the people who depend on them. ‘Rangelands’ make up a quarter of the world’s landscape, and here, the case is developed that while fragmentation arises from different natural, social and economic conditions worldwide, it creates similar outcomes for human and natural systems.
