Handbook of Alien Species in Europe
Biological invasions by alien (non-native) species are widely recognized as a significant component of human-caused global environmental change and the second most important cause of biodiversity decline. Alien species threaten many European ecosystems and have serious environmental, economic and health impacts. The DAISIE (Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories for Europe) project has now brought together all available information on alien species in Europe (terrestrial, aquatic and marine) and from all taxa (fungi, plants, animals). Thus for the first time, an overview and assessment of biological invasions in the Pan-European region is finally possible. The Handbook of Alien Specie...
Impact of Biological Invasions on Ecosystem Services
The book presents an analysis of the ecological, economic and social threats posed by the introduction and spread of non-native species. It provides a comprehensive description of impacts of non-native species from all five kingdoms of life across all ecosystems of the world. New insights into the impacts arising from biological invasions are generated through taking an ecosystem services perspective. This work highlights that management of biological invasions is needed not only to sustain biodiversity and the environment, but also to safeguard productive sectors such as agriculture, forestry and fisheries, as well as to preserve human health and well-being.
Advances in Parasitic Weeds Research
Parasitic weeds are severe constraint to agriculture and major crop production, and the efficacy of available means to control them is minimal. Control strategies have centred around agronomic practices, resistant varieties and the use of herbicides. Novel integrated control programmes should be sympathetic to agricultural extensification while exerting minimal harmful effects on the environment. This eBook covers recent advances in biology, physiology of parasitism, genetics, population dynamics, resistance, host-parasite relationships, regulation of seed germination, etc., in order to offer an outstanding windows to these enigmatic plants, and contribute to their practical management.
Grassland Productivity and Ecosystem Services
Grassland ecosystems are deeply affected by human activities and need appropriate management to optimise trade-offs between ecosystem functions and services. Until now they have mainly been analysed as agro-ecosystems for animal production but this book looks beyond the role of grassland as a feeding ground, and evaluates other important processes such as carbon sequestration in soils, greenhouse gas regulation and biodiversity protection. This authoritative volume expertly highlights the need for an immediate balance between agriculture and ecological management for sustainability in the futu.

Gestion durable de la flore adventice des cultures
Trop longtemps dépendante des seuls herbicides, l’agriculture doit évoluer vers une gestion des plantes adventices qui s’appuie sur un ensemble de pratiques culturales et de régulations écologiques intégrant tous les enjeux environnementaux.Cet ouvrage explore les moyens et stratégies de gestion durable des plantes sauvages des champs faisant appel aux principes de la protection intégrée et à une démarche « agroécologique ».

L'agriculture de conservation des sols
L’agriculture de conservation des sols est au cœur des débats sur le rôle de l’agriculture dans la préservation de la qualité des sols et de la biodiversité, la nécessaire réduction de l’usage des produits phytopharmaceutiques, ainsi que dans l’atténuation et l’adaptation au changement climatique. Dans sa définition la plus stricte, cette forme d’agriculture met en œuvre trois grands principes : la non-perturbation du sol, la diversité des espèces cultivées et une couverture maximale des sols par des cultures et des couverts vivants ou morts. S’appuyant sur les recherches les plus récentes à travers le monde, cet ouvrage fait un état des lieux des connaissances...
