Restoration and Reclamation of Boreal Ecosystems
Provides the conceptual backbone and specific information necessary for the ecologically sound restoration and sustainable development of boreal ecosystems.
Ecological Forest Management Handbook
The second edition of Ecological Forest Management Handbook continues to provide forestry professionals and students with basic principles of ecological forest management and their applications at regional and site-specific levels. Thoroughly updated and revised, the handbook addresses numerous topics and explains that ecological forest management is a complex process that requires broad ecological knowledge. It discusses how to develop adaptive management scenarios to harvest resources in a sustainable way and provide ecosystem services and social functions. It includes new studies on ecological indicators, the carbon cycle, and ecosystem simulation models for various forest types: boreal, ...
Environmental Modelling, Software and Decision Support
The complex and multidisciplinary nature of environmental problems requires that they are dealt with in an integrated manner. Modeling and software have become key instruments used to promote sustainability and improve environmental decision processes, especially through systematic integration of various knowledge and data and their ability to foster learning and help make predictions. This book presents the current state-of-the-art in environmental modeling and software and identifies the future challenges in the field. - State-of-the-art in environmental modeling and software theory and practice for integrated assessment and management serves as a starting point for researchers - Identifies the areas of research and practice required for advancing the requisite knowledge base and tools, and their wider usage - Best practices of environmental modeling enables the reader to select appropriate software and gives the reader tools to integrate natural system dynamics with human dimensions
Nutrient Cycling and Plant Nutrition in Forest Ecosystems
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Urban and Periurban Forest Diversity and Ecosystem Services" that was published in Forests
Long-term Dynamics and Contemporary Carbon Budget of Northern Peatlands
This publication provides extended abstracts of papers presented at a workshop on forested peatland carbon dynamics. Topics of papers include peat accumulation, carbon flux measurements, peatlands of the western boreal forest and the Mackenzie Valley, the carbon chemistry of peat, the effect of temperature on microbial decomposition, modelling carbon accumulation, peatland hydrology modelling, peatland fire & impacts on carbon dynamics, soil carbon dynamics in the boreal forest, and how peat fits into the Kyoto Protocol.
An Ecosystem Carbon Database for Canadian Forests
The Forest Ecosystem Carbon Database presented in this report was compiled to meet the data needs of large-scale modelers and analysts working with the carbon budgets and dynamics of different forest ecosystems in Canada. A summary of estimated carbon content for soil, tree biomass by component, and total ecosystem carbon for each plot is appended to this report. These estimates fo not include detrital carbon (woody debris, etc.) or root biomass, which may significantly alter estimates for total ecosystem carbon in some forest types.
African Theology, Philosophy, and Religions
In African Theology, Philosophy, and Religions: Celebrating John Samuel Mbiti’s Contribution, contributorsexplore John Samuel Mbiti’s contributions to African scholarship and demonstrate how he broke through the western glass ceiling of scholarship and made African-informed and African-shaped scholarship a reality. Contributors examine the far-reaching implications of Mbiti’s scholarship, arguing that he shifted the contemporary African Christian landscape and informed global expressions of Christianity. African Theology, Philosophy, and Religions analyzes Mbiti’s scholarship and shows that his theories are malleable and fluid, allowing a new generation of scholars to reinterpret, reconstruct, and further develop his theories. This collection brings together contributors from a wide range of disciplines to study John Samuel Mbiti as the father of contemporary African theology and grapple with questions Africans face in the twenty-first century.
Encyclopedia of Natural Resources - Land - Volume I
With unprecedented attention on global change, the current debate revolves around the availability and sustainability of natural resources and how to achieve equilibrium between what society demands from natural environments and what the natural resource base can provide. A full understanding of the range of issues, from the consequences of the changing resource bases to the degradation of ecological integrity and the sustainability of life, is crucial to the process of developing solutions to this complex challenge. Authored by world-class scientists and scholars, The Encyclopedia of Natural Resources provides an authoritative reference on a broad spectrum of topics such as the forcing fact...
