Vegetation-based Degradation and Restoration on the Alpine Grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau

Vegetation-based Degradation and Restoration on the Alpine Grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau

Known as the “roof of the world,” the Tibetan Plateau is the highest and largest plateau on Earth. Tibetan Plateau hosts several mountain ecosystems characterized by high elevations, cold conditions, and a wide range in water availability. Its unique physical and geographical environment includes ecosystems typical for alpine regions, classified as alpine grasslands, which account for 50-70% of the total land area of the Tibetan plateau. Most of these grasslands contain fragile tundra-like environments which are seriously affected by anthropogenic modifications and whose restoration presents a challenge. These natural grassland types include alpine deserts, alpine steppes, alpine meadows, and alpine swamp meadows along precipitation gradients, as well as the transition types between them. Alpine grasslands remain subject to severe degradation by multiple factors, mainly overgrazing and climate warming. As a result, grasslands exhibit a decreased capacity to support biodiversity and complexity, and more generally, ecosystem functions. Therefore, these changes also affect social and recreational activities and restrict access to clean water and food by local communities.

And That's the Way it Happened is an exciting collection of childrens stories that explain how and why certain things happen. In clever and descriptive tales Emily Dearworth weaves amazing short stories that not only intrigue young children, but also teaches them a valuable lesson. The collection of "Just So" stories includes explanations such as how the skunk got its stripe, how the snake lost its legs, and how the pug dog got its flat nose. The exciting adventures and plentiful illustrations help to capture the imagination of children as they discover a moral to every story. Join the exciting adventures of Pretty Pug Penelope, Chatty Charo Chihuahua, Obnoxious Octopus Oliver, and their friends as Ms. Dearworth takes them on a journey through Bungle Jungle, the Forbidden Fearsome Forest, Quarrel Coral, and other mystifying places where they learn to respect others, to treat people fairly and to always tell the truth. Little do they realize the valuable lessons they are learning along the way.

On Their Own Terms

In On Their Own Terms, Benjamin A. Elman offers a much-needed synthesis of early Chinese science during the Jesuit period (1600-1800) and the modern sciences as they evolved in China under Protestant influence (1840s-1900). By 1600 Europe was ahead of Asia in producing basic machines, such as clocks, levers, and pulleys, that would be necessary for the mechanization of agriculture and industry. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Elman shows, Europeans still sought from the Chinese their secrets of producing silk, fine textiles, and porcelain, as well as large-scale tea cultivation. Chinese literati borrowed in turn new algebraic notations of Hindu-Arabic origin, Tychonic cosmology, Euclidian geometry, and various computational advances. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, imperial reformers, early Republicans, Guomindang party cadres, and Chinese Communists have all prioritized science and technology. In this book, Elman gives a nuanced account of the ways in which native Chinese science evolved over four centuries, under the influence of both Jesuit and Protestant missionaries. In the end, he argues, the Chinese produced modern science on their own terms.

The Side Effects of Insecticides on Insects and the Adaptation Mechanisms of Insects to Insecticides

Insecticides have played a major role in the management of agricultural and medical insect pests since their first application in pest control. The impacts of insecticide on the environment, as well as on organisms in ecosystems, have been addressed for decades. On the one hand, the side effects of insecticides on pollinating insects, natural predators and nontarget insects, can cause imbalances/disruption in ecosystems, and resurgence of target pests, which eventually leads to agricultural production losses. On the other hand, as one of the most successful groups of animals, insects have evolved a wide range of adaptive strategies that allow them to live in almost every habitat on earth, survive and reproduce even when subjected to chemical stresses such as natural plant allelochemicals and insecticides. Outbreaks of pests following insecticide application owing to hormesis effects and evolution of insecticide resistance in insects threatens the sustainability of insecticides employed as the most effective measure for control of agricultural and medical pests.
