Biodiversity Conservation and Habitat Management is a component of Encyclopedia of Natural Resources Policy and Management in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Biodiversity is declining worldwide at a very unprecedented rate as a complex response to several human-induced changes in the global environment. The magnitude of these changes is so large and their effects are so strongly linked to the altered ecosystem processes and to human (ab-)use of natural resources that biodiversity loss is today perceived as one of the most important issues that humankind should face with extreme urgency.

Interested students in the natural and engineering sciences, as well as high school graduates, instructors, teachers, and amateur astronomers, will find a valuable overview of the physics of stars in this book. The only prerequisite is a basic mathematical and physical background, which does not go beyond the knowledge of integral and differential calculus. In this regard, this book aims to bridge the gap with the specialized literature available on the internet, allowing readers to benefit from it. The first part traces the historical development that led to a detailed understanding of the nature of stars and their life cycles. The goal of the following chapters is to provide a pragmatic in...

This book aims to identify, present and discuss key driving forces and pressures on ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are the contributions that ecosystems provide to human well-being. The scope of this atlas is on identifying solutions and lessons to be applied across science, policy and practice. The atlas will address different components of ecosystem services, assess risks and vulnerabilities, and outline governance and management opportunities. The atlas will therefore attract a wide audience, both from policy and practice and from different scientific disciplines. The emphasis will be on ecosystems in Europe, as the available data on service provision is best developed for this region and recognizes the strengths of the contributing authors. Ecosystems of regions outside Europe will be covered where possible.

Unter welchen Bedingungen entsteht „Leben“ und wie ist es im Kosmos verbreitet? Damit beschäftigt sich der Autor und stellt wichtige Facetten einer jungen Wissenschaftsdisziplin ausführlich vor: · Was ist und wie funktioniert „Leben“? · Entstehung des Lebens auf der Erde · Kosmische Voraussetzungen für „Leben, wie wir es kennen“ · Leben im Sonnensystem und darüber hinaus · Suche nach außerirdischen Zivilisationen Zudem wird das spannende Gebiet der Astrochemie behandelt, welches erklärt wie sich die molekularen Grundbausteine des Lebens unter kosmischen Bedingungen bilden. Das Buch wendet sich an interessierte Studenten der Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften, Abiturienten, Dozenten, Lehrer und nicht zuletzt an Amateurastronomen.
