Development and Perspectives of Landscape Ecology
Development and status of landscape ecology - subject of this book During the last decades, landscape ecology has developed tremendously. It concerns both the theoretical basis and practical application. The roots of landscape ecology are geography and biology. The term "landscape ecology" was first coined by the German scientist Carl Troll in 1939. ünce, the devel opment center of landscape ecology was in Central Europe. Recently, also other parts of the world became powernd centers of landscape ecology, es pecially Northern America. American approaches partly differ essentially from the European, because they are focused esp. on biogeography and population dynamics. In Europe, however, th...
Landscape Balance and Landscape Assessment
The book's aim is to present recommendations for sustainable land use and management. The authors follow a hierarchical approach that is inherent in landscape structures and processes as well as in planning practice. During the last decades, landscape ecology has developed tremendously. Future research tendencies are also covered. All methodological approaches are explained with examples from different regions.
Innovations in European Rural Landscapes
Rural regions in Europe are evolving under powerful boundary conditions such as globalisation, socio-cultural transformations and climate change, which in turn increases natural hazards. The regional land use and the evolvement of landscapes is increasingly shaped trends and drivers like infrastructural, energy or housing needs, globalised agricultural markets, and consumption habits. To face these challenges and to balance competitiveness with social cohesion, the "InnoLand research and development network" induces and accompanies promising land use innovations at the landscape scale in 10 European rural regions. Based on a common conceptual approach among the InnoLand partners, the development and implementation of new competitive strategies is conducted as a science-practice dialogue with strong commitment to the regional policy design for rural development. With this book, the network partners provide an overview and a comparative analysis of selected experimental regional approaches and give examples for the successful tackling of future opportunities and threats.
Remaking Berlin
An examination of Berlin's turbulent history through the lens of its water and energy infrastructures. In Remaking Berlin, Timothy Moss takes a novel perspective on Berlin's turbulent twentieth-century history, examining it through the lens of its water and energy infrastructures. He shows that, through a century of changing regimes, geopolitical interventions, and socioeconomic volatility, Berlin's networked urban infrastructures have acted as medium and manifestation of municipal, national, and international politics and policies. Moss traces the coevolution of Berlin and its infrastructure systems from the creation of Greater Berlin in 1920 to remunicipalization of services in 2020, encom...

State of the Art in Ethiopian Church Forests and Restoration Options
This book, with contributions from leading academics - and including reviews and case studies from Ethiopian Church forests - provides a valuable reference for advanced students and researchers interested in forest and other natural resource management, ecology and ecosystem services as well as restoration options. The book addresses various aspects including a general overview of Ethiopian church forests, the present role and future challenges of church forests. It also discusses their structure and diversity in the context of sustainability and discusses restoration options for surrounding landscapes, under consideration of the circumstances of the land and the needs of surrounding communities. The intended readership includes natural resource professionals in general as well as forestry professionals in particular (practitioners, policymakers, educators and researchers). The book will provide the reader with a good foundation for understanding Ethiopian forest resources and restoration options of degraded landscape.
The County Diagnostic
The county diagnostic method is a spatially explicit, unit specific, component expanded regional environmental footprint framework for the USA designed by Bryce Lawrence to compare the influence of ecoregions on poly‐factorial environmental footprints. This 'diagnostic assessment' quantifies and compares the flows of food, water, energy, carbon, municipal solid waste, wastewater and spatial extent of ecosystem conservation. The county diagnostic fills the gap in regional environmental planning in the USA by bridging urban and state level planning.
Stoff- und Wasserhaushalt in Einzugsgebieten
In diesem Band werden die wichtigsten Charakteristika von Flusseinzugsgebieten behandelt - Kleineinzugsgebiete und mesoskalige Einzugsgebiete, Abflussdynamik, Stofftransport und Stoffausträge, Einfluss von Hochwasserereignissen in unterschiedlichen Raumskalen, Sickerwasserraten sowie eine mesoskalige Landschaftsanalyse. Dabei wird gezeigt, wie auf unterschiedlichen Skalenniveaus differenzierte Fragestellungen entstehen und mit einem angepassten Methodenspektrum beantwortet werden können. Darüber hinaus behandeln mehrere Beiträge explizit die Vorgaben der EU-WRRL aus umweltökonomischer Sicht. Kommunalpolitiker, Raum- und Landschaftsplaner, Naturschutzbeauftragte sowie Juristen, Ökonomen und Umweltwissenschaftler, die mit der Umsetzung der EU-WRRL betraut sind, erhalten mit diesem Band wichtige Entscheidungshilfen. Die Fallbeispielsammlung ist sowohl für Praktiker als auch für Wissenschaftler und Studierende von hohem Nutzen.
