Ecosystems change on a multitude of spatial and temporal scales. While analyses of ecosystem dynamics in short timespans have received much attention, the impacts of changes in the long term have, to a great extent, been neglected, provoking a lack of information and methodological know-how in this area. This book fills this gap by focusing on studies dealing with the investigation of complex, long-term ecological processes with regard to global change, the development of early warning systems, and the acquisition of a scientific basis for strategic conservation management and the sustainable use of ecosystems. Within this book, theoretical ecological questions of long-term processes, as well as an international dimension of long-term monitoring, observations and research are brought together. The outcome is an overview on different aspects of long-term ecological research. Aquatic, as well as terrestrial ecosystems are represented.
This book is organized into five parts reflecting major topics in estuarine synthesis: prediction of inputs from drainage basins; coupling of physical and ecological factors; links between biogeochemistry and food webs; controls of estuarine habitats; and the role of synthesis in addressing issues of management. Each part contains an introduction; plenary talks illustrating case histories of successful syntheses; and a workshop report report presenting an overview of the topic, goals for further synthesis, and recommendations about the data, knowledge, and models necessary to attain these goals.
"Filippa Stagnaro, reggente del comune di Adra ed erede del più importante zuccherificio della regione, deve affrontare i fantasmi del suo passato e lottare per l'eredità del padre, Nicola Stagnaro, nobile imprenditore genovese. Tra i tradimenti e la costante minaccia di una concorrenza perversa. Passato e presente si intrecciano, dando vita a due storie d'amore incorniciate dalla cacciata dei gesuiti e dalle influenze di un movimento culturale e intellettuale del XVIII secolo, sullo sfondo di un difficile processo nobiliare. Filippa deve anche salvare il suo unico figlio dalle grinfie del pacificatore Pablo Morillo a Cartagena."
