Pines and Their Mixed Forest Ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin
Almost 20 years after the first MEDPINE book "Ecology, biogeography and management of Pinus halepensis and P. brutia forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin "(Ne'eman and Trabaud, 2000) was published, this new book presents up-to-date and state of the art information, covering a wide range of topics concerning Mediterranean pine trees growing in native and planted forests, their ecosystems and management. This will be an essential source of scientific information for learning, exploring planning and managing mediterranean pine and mixed forests. We focus on: genetics, adaptation, distribution and evolution; ecophysiology and drought resistance; pine and mixed forest ecosystems; forest d...
All the Trees of the Forest
In this insightful and provocative book, Alon Tal provides a detailed account of Israeli forests, tracing their history from the Bible to the present, and outlines the effort to transform drylands and degraded soils into prosperous parks, rangelands, and ecosystems. Tal's description of Israel's trials and errors, and his exploration of both the environmental history and the current policy dilemmas surrounding that country's forests, will provide valuable lessons in the years to come for other parts of the world seeking to reestablish timberlands.

It covers a wide range of topics concerning Mediterranean pine trees growing in natural and planted forests, their ecosystems and management. This book will be an essential source for learning, exploring, planning and managing Mediterranean pine and mixed pine-broadleaved forests. It includes mostly review chapters contributed by leading scientists, foresters and managers. It covers: genetics and a...
Nonlinear Physics of Ecosystems
Nonlinear Physics of Ecosystems introduces the concepts and tools of pattern formation theory and demonstrates their utility in ecological research using problems from spatial ecology. Written in language understandable to both physicists and ecologists in most parts, the book reveals the mechanisms of pattern formation and pattern dynamics. It als
Landscapes of Collectivity in the Life Sciences
Broad perspective on collectivity in the life sciences, from microorganisms to human consensus, and the theoretical and empirical opportunities and challenges. Many researchers and scholars in the life sciences have become increasingly critical of the traditional methodological focus on the individual. This volume counters such methodological individualism by exploring recent and influential work in the life sciences that utilizes notions of collectivity, sociality, rich interactions, and emergent phenomena as essential explanatory tools to handle numerous persistent scientific questions in the life sciences. The contributors consider case studies of collectivity that range from microorganis...
Pflanzen für Palästina
In der Geschichtsschreibung war der sogenannte Botanische Zionismus, der sich um 1900 um den deutsch-judischen Kolonialbotaniker Otto Warburg (1859-1938) formierte, nur eine Fussnote. Tatsachlich aber hat der Botanische Zionismus bis in die Gegenwart Spuren hinterlassen. Die neu gepflanzten Eukalypten und Walder Palastinas waren nicht nur praktisch von Nutzen, sondern auch aufs Engste mit dem zionistischen Projekt verknupft: Pflanzen waren nutzlich, sie veranderten und europaisierten die Landschaft, sie symbolisierten aber auch Nachhaltigkeit, Permanenz und das Produktivitatsethos des Zionismus. Laut Dana von Suffrin verband der Botanische Zionismus Natur, Politik, Nationenbildung und Wissenschaft. Wissenschaft und Technik konnten zumindest teilweise die fehlenden politischen, finanziellen und militarischen Ressourcen der Zionisten kompensieren und das zionistische Siedlungsprojekt in ideologischer und praktischer Hinsicht vorantreiben. So waren die botanischen Zionisten Wissenschaftler, aber zugleich auch politische Akteure. In diesem Fall sollte die Wissenschaft der Errichtung eines judischen Staates in Palastina den Weg ebnen.
