Carbon Dioxide, Populations, and Communities
In past decades and in association with a continuing global industrial development, the global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has been rising. Among the many predictions made concerning this disturbing trend is global warming sufficient to melt polar ice-caps thereby dramatically altering existing shorelines. This book will help fill an obvious gap in the carbon dioxide debate by substituting date for speculation.* * Includes contributions from leading authorities around the world* Serves as a companion to Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems* The first book of its kind to explore evolutionary responses of both populations and communities to elevated carbon dioxide
SUSTAINABLE HORIZONS: ECO FRIENDLY ARCHITECTURE FOR A BETTER FUTURE
There are enormous and difficult challenges on a global scale, and we are living in a time when these problems are occurring. Sometimes people would refer to them as "wicked problems." As a result of the interconnected nature of these issues and the prevalence of value systems and points of view that are in opposition to one another, it is challenging to describe, comprehend, and find solutions to these complex and systemic challenges. In the present moment, we are confronted with a number of the most severe challenges that may be traced back to human activities that are not sustainable. We refer to this period of time as the "Anthropocene," which is a geological era that has been developed ...
Progettare Green Infrastructure
Il progetto delle Green Infrastructure si colloca nell’ambito scientifico della progettazione tecnologica ambientale attraverso l’implementazione di soluzioni nature-based per la riqualificazione ambientale, l’inclusione sociale e lo sviluppo economico dei sistemi metropolitani. Attraverso una estesa casistica internazionale, si indagano le vicende evolutive dell’evidence-based design, inteso come pensiero strategico volto a massimizzare i benefici integrati forniti dai sistemi socio-ecologici attraverso trasformazioni architettoniche e urbane di tipo adattivo. Prendendo in rassegna i princìpi economici alla base della valutazione del Capitale Naturale e dei servizi ecosistemici, viene fornito un quadro delle tecniche “non di mercato” e delle più recenti forme di incentivo alla conservazione delle infrastrutture ecologiche e di supporto alle economie locali: Market-based Instruments e Payments for Ecosystem Services.
