Recent Advances in Environmental Science from the Euro-Mediterranean and Surrounding Regions (2nd Edition)
This book includes over three hundred and seventy-five short papers presented during the second EMCEI, which was held in Sousse, Tunisia in October 2019. After the success of the first EMCEI in 2017, the second installment tackled emerging environmental issues together with new challenges, e.g. by focusing on innovative approaches that contribute to achieving a sustainable environment in the Mediterranean and surrounding regions and by highlighting to decision makers from related sectors the environmental considerations that should be integrated into their respective activities. Presenting a wide range of environmental topics and new findings relevant to a variety of problems in these regions, this volume will appeal to anyone working in the subject area and particularly to students interested in learning more about new advances in environmental research initiatives in view of the worsening environmental degradation of the Mediterranean and surrounding regions, which has made environmental and resource protection into an increasingly important issue hampering sustainable development and social welfare.
Rediscovering Earthworms
This book is a concise and well-illustrated treatment of the conventional knowledge and modern utilities of earthworms. The first two chapters deal with earthworm morphology, food relationship, behavior, functional role, interaction with soil biota, and the influence of environmental factors. Earthworms found in the tropics and sub-tropics are also discussed in this section. The third chapter provides a good account of utilizing species of worms to produce high value manure through vermitechnology and its application in agriculture. The nutritional and medicinal values of earthworms are illustrated in the fourth chapter, while the fifth c provides information on how earthworms are used successfully as indicators of ecological perturbations, soil quality and for remediation of contaminated soils. The book will immensely benefit students, faculty and researchers in biological, agricultural and environmental sciences. It is also a source of information for anyone interested in knowing more about earthworms.
Anthropisation des paysages katangais
Le concept d'anthropisation fait référence à ces dynamiques observées au sein des paysages et écosystèmes dont la cause peut être mise en relation avec des activités humaines qui, par conséquent, pourraient être considérées comme des perturbations des équilibres naturels. Le développement agricole, l'expansion des exploitations minières et la croissance des centres urbains en sont des exemples typiques. Cette présence de l'homme comme perturbateur des systèmes naturels et les conséquences environnementales de ses actes forment le leitmotiv de cet ouvrage. Le livre s'adresse à ceux qui s'intéressent aux écosystèmes uniques de l'ancienne province du Katanga, en particulie...
