Cultural landscapes are a product of the interactions between humans and natural settings. They are landscapes and seascapes that are shaped by human history and land use. Socioeconomic processes especially, but also environmental changes and natural disturbances, are some of the forces that make up landscape dynamics. To understand and manage such complex landscapes, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches are necessary, emphasizing the integration of natural and social sciences and considering multiple landscape functions. The spatial patterns of Asian landscapes are strongly related to human activities and their impacts. Anthropogenic patterns and processes have created numerous traditional cultural landscapes throughout the region, and understanding them requires indigenous knowledge. Cultural landscape ecology from a uniquely Asian perspective is explored in this book, as are the management of landscapes and land-use policies. Human-dominated landscapes with long traditions, such as those described herein, provide useful information for all ecologists, not only in Asia, to better understand the human–environmental relationship and landscape sustainability.

Permasalahan lingkungan yang terkait dengan keanekaragaman hayati saat ini cukup menyita banyak perhatian berbagai kalangan, terutama akademisi, peneliti, LSM, lembaga konservasi, mahasiswa, dan berbagai pihak. Dalam menyusun berbagai dokumen untuk pemanfaatan dan pelestarian keanekaragaman hayati, praktisi lapang perlu bekal teori yang komprehensif mengenai keanekaragaman hayati. Buku ini menjelaskan beberapa aspek dalam kajian keanekaragaman hayati, meliputi keanekaragaman genetik, keanekaragaman spesies dan keanekaragaman ekosistem. Penjelasan yang diberikan pada tiap aspek meliputi pendekatan teoritis dan pendekatan aplikatif. Penyusunan topik-topik dalam bab demi bab dilakukan sesistematis mungkin sehingga memudahkan pembaca untuk memahami muatan yang dimaksud. Bab-bab awal membahas mengenai teori keanekaragaman hayati dan teknik analisisnya. Pada bagian pertengahan hingga akhir selain menyajikan teori juga memberikan contoh praktis bagaimana suatu penelitian keanekaragaman hayati dilakukan, serta manfaat dan upaya konservasi keanekaragaman hayati yang kita miliki. -Amien S. Leksono, M.Si. PhD. (Penulis)-
Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki keanekaragaman hayati tinggi, sehingga disebut sebagai Mega biodiversity country. Keanekaragaman hayati yang ada di Indonesia terjadi pada berbagai tingkatan seperti genetik, spesies dan ekosistem. Selain memiliki keanekaragaman hayati yang tinggi, Indonesia juga memiliki keanekaragaman yang tinggi dalam hal suku bangsanya. Keanekaragaman suku bangsa juga mencerminkan keanekaragaman budaya yang disertai kearifan-kearifan lokal (indigenous knowledge) dalam memanfaatkan dan mengelola alam lingkungan dengan konsep konservasi. Kearifan lokal merupakan upaya masyarakat yang didasarkan pada pengalaman, kebutuhan, pemahaman dan pengetahuan mengena...

The field of ecosystem health explores the interactions between natural systems, human health, and social organization. As decision makers require a sound, modular approach to environmental management and sustainable development, ecosystem health assessment indicators are increasingly used across any number of applications. The Handbook of Ecologic
It also describes the effects of bulking on errors and the use of ancillary information and regression to improve estimates.
The main purpose of this book is to introduce black rice to a wider circle of people. Although there have been research on different aspects of black rice, the information is scattered and not easily accessible to laypersons. The book intends to cover all the aspects of black rice from research, history, to its development. As such, the book will be suitable for both rice researchers and non-professionals who want to know more about this unique rice crop. Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, is packed with high level of nutrients and antioxidants. The antioxidants found in black rice is higher than the blueberries (that contain highest amount of anthocyanins). Black rice is black due to...
