Alpine Plant Life
Generations of plant scientists have been fascinated by alpine plant lifean ecosystem that experiences dramatic climatic gradients over a very short distance. This comprehensive book examines a wide range of topics including alpine climate and soils, plant distribution and the treeline phenomenon, plant stress and development, global change at high elevation, and the human impact on alpine vegetation. Geographically, the book covers all parts of the world including the tropics.
Deer and People
Deer have been central to human cultures throughout time and space: whether as staples to hunter-gatherers, icons of Empire, or the focus of sport. Their social and economic importance has seen some species transported across continents, transforming landscape as they went with the establishment of menageries and park.

In spite of their diverse, deep-rooted and long standing relations with human societies, no multi-disciplinary volume of research on cervids has until now been produced. This volume d...

Hundert Nutztierrassen in den Alpenländern sind akut gefährdet – so lautete das wichtigste Ergebnis einer Studie über die «Landwirtschaftlichen Genressourcen» des Alpenbogens aus den Jahren 1992/93. Alarmierend an diesen Befunden war vor allem die Tatsache, dass in vierzig Prozent der Fälle keinerlei Erhaltungsinitiativen ergriffen worden waren. Nun liegt eine Aktualisierung der Studie für die Jahre 2000/2001 vor, in die neu auch die Situation der Kulturpflanzen mit einbezogen wurde. In den verschiedenen Alpenländern, von Frankreich bis Slowenien, haben sich seit der ersten Studie nicht nur die Zahlen der Restpopulationen geändert, sondern auch die rechtlichen und politischen Rahm...
