Increasingly, environmental decision making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. With interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, the game is at once a measure of complexity, uncertainty, interdisciplinary acuity, social-environmental sustainability, and social justice for all generations. As such, it
An interdisciplinary book tackling the challenges of managing peatlands and their ecosystem services in the face of climate change.
Synthesises important concepts, patterns and issues relating to avian habitat selection, drawing on examples from Europe, North America and Australia.
A comparative, holistic synthesis of microbiome research, spanning soil, plant, animal and human hosts.
An authoritative review of the ecology of forest birds and their conservation issues throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
Forests hold a significant proportion of global biodiversity and terrestrial carbon stocks and are at the forefront of human-induced global change. The dynamics and distribution of forest vegetation determines the habitat for other organisms, and regulates the delivery of ecosystem services, including carbon storage. Presenting recent research across temperate and tropical ecosystems, this volume synthesises the numerous ways that forests are responding to global change and includes perspectives on: the role of forests in the global carbon and energy budgets; historical patterns of forest change and diversification; contemporary mechanisms of community assembly and implications of underlying drivers of global change; and the ways in which forests supply ecosystem services that support human lives. The chapters represent case studies drawn from the authors' expertise, highlighting exciting new research and providing information that will be valuable to academics, students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in this field.
A diverse account of how life exists in extreme environments and these systems' susceptibility and resilience to climate change.
Introduces readers to key case studies that illustrate how theory and data can be integrated to understand wildlife disease ecology.
Discusses the benefits and risks, as well as the economic and socio-political realities, of rewilding as a novel conservation tool.
