Birds as Useful Indicators of High Nature Value Farmlands
This book helps to establish a simple framework to identify and use bird species as a bioindicator for high nature value (HNV) farmlands. This book focuses on suitable methods for monitoring the HNV areas, and presents the results of several case studies. The chapters put forward ways to integrate ecosystems assessment, geographical information systems (GIS) and strategies for conservation of local biodiversity. An innovative framework focuses on the use of species distribution models (SDMs) in order to explore the importance of each characteristic of HNV farmlands. Furthermore, the book examines the relationships among bird species richness, land use diversity and landscape metrics at a local scale in the farmlands.
Climate Governance and Development
The Berlin Workshop Series 2010 presents selected papers from meetings held September 28 30, 2008, at the eleventh annual forum co-hosted by InWEnt and the World Bank in preparation for the Bank s annual World Development Report. At the 2008 meetings, key researchers and policy makers from Europe, the United States, and developing countries met to explore the problems that climate governance poses for development, which are later examined in depth in the 'World Development Report 2010'. This volume presents papers from the Berlin workshop sessions on climate governance and development, covering climate change as a development priority; policies and technologies for energy and development; na...
Assessment of Climate Change for the Baltic Sea Basin
This book offers an up-to-date overview of the latest scientific findings in regional climate research on the Baltic Sea basin. This includes climate changes in the recent past, climate projections up until 2100 using the most sophisticated regional climate models available, and an assessment of climate change impacts on terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The authors demonstrate that the regional climate has already started to change, and will continue to do so.
Climate Change and Migration
Examines how climate-induced migration, the relocation of individuals from harsh climate areas to more favorable ones, has led to concerns about national borders, sovereignty, and security, along with suggestions to combat the situation.
The Changing Nature of the Maine Woods
The ecology of the ever-changing Maine forest
Parasite Diversity and Diversification
By joining phylogenetics and evolutionary ecology, this book explores the patterns of parasite diversity while revealing diversification processes.
Łosie w kaczeńcach
Gdzie można spotkać w Polsce błękitne żaby, a gdzie usłyszeć tokujące cietrzewie? Dlaczego znad Biebrzy zniknęły bataliony? I jak może się zakończyć nieoczekiwane spotkanie z wilkiem? Czuliście kiedyś ekscytację na myśl, by przespać w samochodzie noc przy ujemnej temperaturze, a później wstać przed świtem i pół dnia czatować na podmokłym terenie w pozycji leżącej? Zapewne niewielu o tym marzy, a zrozumieć może tylko ten, kto tego doświadczył. Ale efekty możemy podziwiać wszyscy – dzięki fotografom i pasjonatom takim jak Magda i Łukasz, którzy od lat z powodzeniem portretują m.in. zmieniające się Bagna Biebrzańskie. Znajdziecie tu wiele zaskakujący...
The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology
This second edition covers recent developments around the world with contributors from 33 different countries. It widens the handbook’s scope by including ecological design; consideration of cultural dimensions of the use and conservation of urban nature; the roles of government and civil society; and the continuing issues of equity and fairness in access to urban greenspaces. New features include an emphasis on the biophilic design of homes and workplaces, demonstrating the value of nature, in order to counter the still prevalent attitude among many developers that nature is a constraint rather than a value. The volume explores great practical achievements that have occurred since the fir...
