Bioclimatology and Natural Hazards
Anthropogenic influences to the earth's system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and lithosphere, represent a serious challenge to our planet's ecosystems and natural environments. Bioclimatology, hydrology, bio-hydrology and eco-physiology are important scientific research areas with wide application to environmental protection, forestry, agriculture and water management, and protection against natural hazards including droughts, floods, windstorms, weather extremes, and wild fires. Bioclimatology helps to better understand the causes and impacts of natural hazards and how to prevent them. Improved knowledge of natural hazards is a vital prerequisite for the impl...
Waldumbau
Das Buch untersucht die Auswirkungen von Änderungen der Waldbewirtschaftung, derzeit vorwiegend von nadelbaumdominierten Reinbeständen in strukturierte Mischwälder. Innerhalb einer nachhaltigen und naturnahen Waldwirtschaft wird dieser Prozess als ökologischer Waldumbau bezeichnet. Er wird aktuell von den öffentlichen Forstverwaltungen in Deutschland und Mitteleuropa forciert. Einleitend beschreiben die Autoren Ziele, Möglichkeiten und Erfordernisse des ökologischen Waldumbaus. Basierend auf wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen werden die mit dem Waldumbau einhergehenden Probleme und die zu erwartenden Folgen unter ökologischen, naturschutzfachlichen und betriebswirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten, verständlich für das Fachpublikum wie auch die Praxis, beleuchtet. Schwerpunkte sind dabei Effekte des Waldumbaus auf das Ökosystem Wald und benachbarte Ökosysteme, auf Stoffhaushalt, Artenzusammensetzung und Biodiversität, ebenso wie die ökonomischen Risiken, der Einfluss der Besitzverhältnisse und die Technikfolgen.
Wood & Fire Safety
This proceedings volume presents new scientific works of the research workers and experts from the field of Wood Science & Fire. It looks into the properties of various tree species across the continents affecting the fire-technical properties of wood and wood-based materials, its modifications, fire-retardant methods and other technological processes that have an impact on wood ignition and burning. The results of these findings have a direct impact on Building Construction and Design describing the fire safety of wooden buildings, mainly large and multi-story ones. The results of these experiments and findings may be applied, or are directly implemented into Fire Science, Hazard Control, B...

Evapotranspiration
This edition of Evapotranspiration - Remote Sensing and Modeling contains 23 chapters related to the modeling and simulation of evapotranspiration (ET) and remote sensing-based energy balance determination of ET. These areas are at the forefront of technologies that quantify the highly spatial ET from the Earth's surface. The topics describe mechanics of ET simulation from partially vegetated surfaces and stomatal conductance behavior of natural and agricultural ecosystems. Estimation methods that use weather based methods, soil water balance, the Complementary Relationship, the Hargreaves and other temperature-radiation based methods, and Fuzzy-Probabilistic calculations are described. A critical review describes methods used in hydrological models. Applications describe ET patterns in alpine catchments, under water shortage, for irrigated systems, under climate change, and for grasslands and pastures. Remote sensing based approaches include Landsat and MODIS satellite-based energy balance, and the common process models SEBAL, METRIC and S-SEBS. Recommended guidelines for applying operational satellite-based energy balance models and for overcoming common challenges are made.
