recruitment of adult plants in entire communities, and all of them focus on changes in total densities of A central issue of plant ecology is the understanding individuals and do not refer to changes in community of the relative role of different life history stages in structure (Moles and Drake 1999; Rebollo et al. successful plant recruitment. The consecutive stages 2001; Goldberg et al. 2001). This ?eld of research of seed, seedling, and adult are related to each other has hardly been explored empirically, and we think it in a complex way that largely depends on species and may reveal interesting mechanisms for the regulation the in?uence of physical and biological factors of individual d...
Marine, coastal and wetland habitats are threatened, through exploitation, and also by climate change, as ocean currents change course, sea levels rise, and rainfall patterns change. This book gathers papers on the biodiversity conservation of these increasingly threatened habitats. The papers provide a snapshot of the problems they face, and offer numerous examples which render this volume valuable to educators in marine, freshwater and wetlands ecology, conservation and ecological restoration.
This book collects the proceedings of the Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics 2008 conference held in Lyon, France. Contributed papers by over 40 researchers representing the state of the art in parallel CFD and architecture from Asia, Europe, and North America examine major developments in (1) block-structured grid and boundary methods to simulate flows over moving bodies, (2) specific methods for optimization in Aerodynamics Design, (3) innovative parallel algorithms and numerical solvers, such as scalable algebraic multilevel preconditioners and the acceleration of iterative solutions, (4) software frameworks and component architectures for parallelism, (5) large scale computing and parallel efficiencies in the industrial context, (6) lattice Boltzmann and SPH methods, and (7) applications in the environment, biofluids, and nuclear engineering.
Le colloque ECOVEG est organisé annuellement et réunit l'ensemble de la communauté scientifique francophone dans le domaine de l'écologie des communautés végétales. Ces journées scientifiques ont pour but d'échanger et de confronter des résultats aux dernières avancées en matière de recherche en écologie des communautés végétales. Elles concernent des systèmes biologiques variés, aquatiques (marins, eaux douces courantes ou stagnantes) ou terrestres (écosystèmes ouverts, landes, forêts, agrosystèmes). Elles s'appuient sur des approches descriptives, expérimentales ou théoriques. Les thèmes abordés lors du colloque ECOVEG sont relatifs aux fondements théoriques de ...
Hedges and field margins are important wildlife habitats and deliver a range of ecosystem services, and their value is increasingly recognised by ecologists. This book reviews and assesses the current state of research on hedgerows and associated field margins. With the intensification of agriculture in the second half of the last century, field sizes were increased by amalgamation and the rooting out of hedges, synthetic pesticide and inorganic fertiliser use increased, and traditional methods of hedge management were largely abandoned. The book is split into two main sections. The first deals with definitions, current and historic management, the impact of pesticides, the decline in hedge ...
Corridor Ecology presents guidelines that combine conservation science and practical experience for maintaining, enhancing, and creating connectivity between natural areas with an overarching goal of conserving biodiversity. It offers an objective, carefully interpreted review of the issues and is a one-of-a-kind resource for scientists, landscape architects, planners, land managers, decision-makers, and all those working to protect and restore landscapes and species diversity.
This volume highlights recent advances that have contributed to our understanding of spatial patterns and scale issues in microbial ecology. The book brings together research conducted at a range of spatial scales (from μm to km) and in a variety of different types of environments. These topics are addressed in a quantitative manner, and a primer on statistical methods is included. In soil ecosystems, both bacteria and fungi are discussed.
O presente livro reúne vários resultados de pesquisa apresentados e selecionados por pares durante o V Seminário de Pesquisa, Pós-graduação e Inovação realizado em novembro de 2017 na Regional Catalão da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Os artigos organizados em forma de capítulos abrigam temas variados dentro da área de Engenharia caracterizando sua multidisciplinaridade e que é uma das vocações marcantes da Regional Catalão. O título do livro reflete as questões presentes nesta característica e apresenta uma sequência do que já vem sendo produzido durante os últimos anos em nossa Regional. De uma maneira geral, os trabalhos abrangem pesquisas que vão desde a simulação de processos visando obter produtividade em sistemas industriais, previsão do comportamento de estruturas e materiais na construção civil, automobilística e de mineração passando, inclusive, por tecnologia assistiva e finalizando com métodos de otimização e suas aplicações em problemas de Engenharia.
