This interdisciplinary and accessible book will help environmentalists to make stronger arguments in favor of conserving biodiversity.
This book, which contains 14 chapters divided into 4 parts, focuses on research on the biological impacts of climate change. Topics covered include: physiological, population, ecosystem and evolutionary responses to climate change; community composition and dynamics; responses by soil organisms to climate change; the future of forest and agricultural productivity; and impacts on biodiversity.
The need to understand the biological processes that are important for essential aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem function has prompted much research into the field of ecological enzymology. This book presents the two broad areas of application in a compilation of reviews by 21 international experts in their respective fields. The first explores enzymatic activities to assess the processes or mechanisms that operate in a given system, such as the rhizosphere, plant leaves and shoots, soil surfaces, and biofilms. The second considers enzymes or microbial cells as sensors to detect microbial activity and stresses due to pollution, management, or climatic change in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
This well timed volume features a selection of chapters composed by experts in their respective fields. It covers a broad range of topics, from its fundamental biology to the fern’s population genetics and environmental and therapeutic applications.
