Hutan produksi memiliki fungsi ekonomi dan fungsi ekologis. Tanaman tahunan menghasilkan kayu yang digunakan dalam industri dan memenuhi kebutuhan pembangunan. Di samping itu, hutan produksi juga berperan dalam mempertahankan konservasi ekologis, salah satunya sebagai penyerap karbon dari udara. Pohon di dalam produksi akan menyerap karbon dan menyimpannya dalam biomassa tegakan, yang berjalan terus-menerus sepanjang hidup pohon sampai umur pohon siap dipanen. Fungsi hutan produksi sebagai penyerap karbon kerap dikaitkan dengan peran upaya mitigasi perubahan iklim. Perubahan iklim ini adalah sebuah fenomena yang mengancam kelestarian lingkungan hidup hingga ketahanan pangan global. Berapa sejatinya kontribusi hutan produksi jati dan mahoni dalam menyerap karbon di Kabupaten Tuban? Lalu, bagaimana cara mengukurnya? Buku ini akan menceritakan metode yang digunakan serta nilai potensi serapan karbon hutan produksi jati dan mahoni pada berbagai kategori umur, khususnya di Kabupaten Tuban.
Buku ini berisikan tentang penerapan praktik pertanian konservasi dengan mengkombinasikan faktor pengolahan tanah dengan mulsa biogeotekstil pada lahan dengan sistem rotasi tanaman jagung dan jenis kacang-kacangan. Penelitian ini mengamati kualitas tanah dan hasil jagung melalui kombinasi faktor tersebut di atas. Indikator yang digunakan untuk menilai kualitas tanah dan hasil jagung ini berupa nilai limpasan permukaan, erosi tanah, sifat fisik tanah, sifat biologi tanah hingga dinamika hama dan penyakit serta produksi jagung dalam satuan luas. Lalu, benarkah kombinasi pengolahan tanah dengan mulsa biogeotekstil serta sistem rotasi tanaman sebagai prinsip pertanian konservasi mampu memperbaiki kualitas tanah dan produksi jagung? Apakah petani akan mengadopsi teknologi ini? Buku referensi ini akan menceritakan metode yang digunakan serta hasil yang didapatkan guna menjawab pertanyaan tersebut.

Assists policymakers in evaluating the appropriate scientific methods for detecting unintended changes in food and assessing the potential for adverse health effects from genetically modified products. In this book, the committee recommended that greater scrutiny should be given to foods containing new compounds or unusual amounts of naturally occurring substances, regardless of the method used to create them. The book offers a framework to guide federal agencies in selecting the route of safety assessment. It identifies and recommends several pre- and post-market approaches to guide the assessment of unintended compositional changes that could result from genetically modified foods and research avenues to fill the knowledge gaps.
The global market of foods with health claims remains highly dynamic and is predicted to expand even further. Consumers have become increasingly aware of the importance of consuming healthy foods in order to have a well-balanced diet and this has increased the demand for foods with health benefits. On the other hand, the food sector companies are trying to meet the new consumers' expectations while designing a variety of novel, enhanced products. Thus, understanding the potential uses of bioactive compounds in food products, the wide range of therapeutic effects, and the possible mechanisms of action is essential for developing healthier products. Covering important aspects of valuable food molecules, this book revises the current knowledge, providing scientifically demonstrated information about the benefits and uses of functional food components, their applications, and the future challenges in nutrition and diet.
While strides are being made in the research and development of environmentally acceptable and more sustainable alternative fuels—including efforts to reduce emissions of air pollutants associated with combustion processes from electric power generation and vehicular transportation—fossil fuel resources are limited and may soon be on the verge of depletion in the near future. Measuring the correlation between quality of life, energy consumption, and the efficient utilization of energy, the Handbook of Alternative Fuel Technologies, Second Edition thoroughly examines the science and technology of alternative fuels and their processing technologies. It focuses specifically on environmental...
Fundamentals of Clinical Practice, Second Edition presents medical students with a comprehensive guide to the social ramifications of a physician's work, and more experienced practitioners with the tools to augment their own patient-centered techniques.
