Ecosystem Organization of a Complex Landscape
This volume is an essential text for scientists from a huge variety of disciplines, from ecologists to geographers and soil scientists. It provides a synthesis of long-term ecological analyses in the Bornhöved Lake District of northern Germany. The emphasis is on the comprehensive assessment of matter and energy fluxes. These operate in and between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems on the one hand, and on transdisciplinary landscape planning approaches on the other.
Passenger and Immigration Lists Index
Main entries in Passenger and Immigration Lists Index provide information including name and age of immigrant; year and place of arrival, naturalization, or other records which indicates person indexed is an immigrant; code indicating the source indexed and the page number in the source which contains the record; and the names of all listed family members together with their age and relationship to the main entry.
Citizen Science
Citizen science, the active participation of the public in scientific research projects, is a rapidly expanding field in open science and open innovation. It provides an integrated model of public knowledge production and engagement with science. As a growing worldwide phenomenon, it is invigorated by evolving new technologies that connect people easily and effectively with the scientific community. Catalysed by citizens’ wishes to be actively involved in scientific processes, as a result of recent societal trends, it also offers contributions to the rise in tertiary education. In addition, citizen science provides a valuable tool for citizens to play a more active role in sustainable deve...
Scales, Hierarchies and Emergent Properties in Ecological Models
Mathematical and computational approaches provide powerful tools in the study of problems in population biology and ecosystem science. Recent analytical advances, coupled with the enhanced potential of high-speed computation, have opened up new sights and presented new challenges especially in those fields of ecological theory which met methodological restrictions in the past: For many years scales and hierarchies have been considered an important research topic in ecology. Nevertheless, the prevailing methodological constraints frequently reduced the analysis to conceptual considerations. Conceptual structuring remains to be the primary practical contribution of scale and hierarchy to the d...
Schutz von Arten vor Glas und Licht
Dieses Buch enthält eine umfassende Analyse der rechtlichen Pflichten und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten zum Schutz vor Risiken und Gefahren für Vögel, Fledermäuse und Insekten durch Glas und Licht. Die Anlockwirkung von nächtlichen Lichtquellen auf Insekten sowie die Kollisionen von Vögeln mit Glas sind allgemein bekannt, aber bislang kaum untersucht worden. Aufgrund neuer Forschungserkenntnisse rückt die Verwendung von Glas und Licht nun stärker in den Fokus des Interesses. Diese rechtstatsächlichen Erkenntnisse werden zusammengefasst und erstmals einer umfassenden systematischen Analyse unterzogen. Das Buch arbeitet die Anforderungen des geltenden Rechts an den Schutz vor Risiken und ...
Germans to America
Title of the first 10 volumes of the series is Germans to America : lists of passengers arriving at U.S. ports 1850-1855.
Agent-Based Modeling of Environmental Conflict and Cooperation
Conflict is a major facet of many environmental challenges of our time. However, growing conflict complexity makes it more difficult to identify win-win strategies for sustainable conflict resolution. Innovative methods are needed to help predict, understand, and resolve conflicts in cooperative ways. Agent-Based Modeling of Environmental Conflict and Cooperation examines computer modeling techniques as an important set of tools for assessing environmental and resource-based conflicts and, ultimately, for finding pathways to conflict resolution and cooperation. This book has two major goals. First, it argues that complexity science can be a unifying framework for professions engaged in confl...
A Geographical Exploration of Urban Risk and COVID-19
The term ‘health’ covers physical, social, mental, emotional, and environmental health. Good health helps us to lead a peaceful and happy life. Human health is a fundamental right which is closely linked to the functions and lifestyles of the people in the urban and peri-urban areas. This book addresses the situation of COVID-19 and its implications for other health issues, providing the solutions to science and society which can be applied for sustainable policy and decision making. It shows that we must enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, reduce vulnerability, and take risk mitigation measures which need a systematic approach based on the science- policy interface that is transformative for a sustainable future. This book offers a valuable guide for planners, policy makers, practitioners, scientists, the academic community and civil society organizations, as well as anyone concerned about sustainable health and wellbeing.
