Recent Advances in Environmental Science from the Euro-Mediterranean and Surrounding Regions
This volume includes the papers presented during the 1st Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI) which was held in Sousse, Tunisia in November 2017. This conference was jointly organized by the editorial office of the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration in Sfax, Tunisia and Springer (MENA Publishing Program) in Germany. It aimed to give a more concrete expression to the Euro-Mediterranean integration process by supplementing existing North-South programs and agreements with a new multilateral scientific forum that emphasizes in particular the vulnerability and proactive remediation of the Euro-Mediterranean region from an environmental point o...
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.
Goat Science
This volume provides a comprehensive overview of goat keeping and farming. It includes twenty-two chapters that address such topics as breeding and selection, goat reproduction, production systems, the effects of goat farming on the environment, the use of goat byproducts, the economics of goat farming, and much more.
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.
Retours d'expérience autour du REH/RDD/APL
En agriculture, l’azote est un élément majeur de production végétale. Cependant, sa forme nitrique (très soluble dans l’eau) présente dans le sol un risque important pour les aquifères, l’environnement (eutrophisation) et la production d’eau potable. Des mesures de reliquat d’azote minéral dans le sol de parcelles cultivées sont réalisées en automne depuis parfois plus de vingt ans dans diverses régions de France et de Belgique. Ce reliquat est nommé (avec parfois quelques nuances) Azote Potentiellement Lessivable (APL), Reliquat Entrée Hiver (REH) ou Reliquat Début Drainage (RDD). Ces trois termes illustrent tant la période de mesure (début d’hiver) que le proce...
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...
Ecosystem Services of Headwater Catchments
This book addresses the evaluation of environmental impacts and services identified in headwaters of different eco-zones around the world. It presents 24 papers selected from contributions to recent meetings of the European Forestry Commission Working Party on the Management of Mountain Watersheds, which is coordinated by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Through its biennial sessions and inter-session activities, the Working Party focuses on the continuous exchange of knowledge and experience between professionals in Europe and other regions of the world confronted with similar issues. The contributions have been updated and peer-reviewed, and the interdisci...
