Working With Nature-Based Solutions
https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-562/ The world is currently facing a biodiversity and climate crisis which are globally interlinked. Nature-based solutions (NBS), defined as “actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously benefiting people and nature” is part of the solution to these challenges. Here we give a status overview of nature-based solutions in the Nordic countries, obtained within the S-ITUATION project focusing on 1) what is the current status of research on NBS in the Nordic countries? 2) what policy framework(s) exist for NBS in the Nordic countries? 3) what ...
Boreal Forests in the Face of Climate Change
This open access book explores a new conceptual framework for the sustainable management of the boreal forest in the face of climate change. The boreal forest is the second-largest terrestrial biome on Earth and covers a 14 million km2 belt, representing about 25% of the Earth’s forest area. Two-thirds of this forest biome is managed and supplies 37% of global wood production. These forests also provide a range of natural resources and ecosystem services essential to humanity. However, climate change is altering species distributions, natural disturbance regimes, and forest ecosystem structure and functioning. Although sustainable management is the main goal across the boreal biome, a nove...
Restoration and History
Papers from a meeting of an interdisciplinary group of ecologists, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and philosophers held July 2006 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Ecosystem Health
Ecosystem Health presents information to help the environmental sciences community further understand the relationships between ecosystem health and human health. By exploring preventative, diagnostic and prognostic aspects of ecosystem management and using case-study examples, the book takes the reader from theory to practice in this emerging integrative science.
Carabid Beetles as Bioindicators: Biogeographical, Ecological and Environmental Studies
This book, dedicated to Konjev Desender and Jean-Pierre Maelfait, is made up of a collection of 30 papers presented at the XIV European Carabidologists? Meeting in Westerbork, the Netherlands (September, 2009). Seventy-five specialists from 20 countries of Europe and Asia attended the meeting. Traditionally, the proceedings volumes of the European Carabidologists Meeting have become important milestones outlining the latest trends and achievements in carabidology.ÿThe aim of the organisers was to invite specialists from different countries and scientific schools to present both traditional and innovative approaches and methods in studying ground beetles. This volume includes a wide range of topics, from the description of new species, taxonomy, a summary of the activities of carabidologists during the last 40 years, biogeographical issues, methodology, behaviour, indicators, environmental issues and conservation. The book will be of use to carabidologists, specialists in traditional and molecular systematics, general and applied ecology, conservation biology, bioindication, urban ecology and biogeography.
Guide to applying the WHO Eye Care Competency Framework
The WHO Eye Care Competency Framework (ECCF) is a tool for workforce planning and development, conveying the expected or aspired performance of the eye care workforce from community to tertiary levels of care. To apply the tool appropriately, first it must be adapted to be suitable to the context. This guide to applying the WHO ECCF provides a step-by-step approach on how users can adapt and use the ECCF in their context. Additionally, it guides users to develop their own competency framework and/or competency-based curricula for their setting.
Beetle Conservation
This issue of Journal of Insect Conservation is the first to be dedicated entirely to beetles. It contains a number of papers to demonstrate the variety and scope of problems and conservation concerns that surround these insects. A short introductory perspective is followed by eight original contributions, in which beetles from many parts of the world are considered, and in which some major threats to their wellbeing are evaluated.

Huippuhetkiä
Oletko kiinnostunut vaeltamisesta? Tunnetko epävarmuutta kuntosi riittävyydestä vuoristopoluilla? Huippuhetkiä - Vaelluksia Itävallan Alpeilla sisältää vaelluksen perustietoa tavallisen ihmisen näkökulmasta katsottuna. Kirjassa kerrotaan muutamista omakohtaisista huippuhetkistä, suurimpana nousu Itävallan korkeimmalle vuorelle, Grossglocknerille. Kirjaan sisältyy kuuden erilaisen alppikylän parhaiden vaellusreittien kuvaukset. Niistä selviää reitin patikointiin tarvittava aika, sen varrella sijaitsevat vaeltajaa palvelevat vuoristomajat, reitin vaikeusaste sekä paljon muuta tietoa.
Ecology of Hierarchical Landscapes
The idea for this book grew out of: (1) the realisation that development of the theory of landscape ecology has now reached the point where rigorous field work is required to validate models, test assumptions and ideas of scaling theory, and refine our understanding of landscape features and their delineation; (2) the relative scarcity of compilations that have examined the role of field research or interdisciplinary management applications in advancing the science of landscape ecology; and (3) the increasing amount of information coming out of the Chequamegon Integrated Field Project (CIFP) on relevant topics. This book synthesises the experiences and lessons learned from the CIFP project and other relevant landscape studies in an attempt to demonstrate the utility of field studies and emerging technology to the advancement of the science. This book is organised to synthesise and update knowledge on research topics mentioned previously, with an emphasis on ecological consequences (i.e., implications for ecological function) of the approach to and understanding of these topics across levels of the ecological hierarchy.
