Download or read book Biological Recording of Changes in British Wildlife written by Institute of Terrestrial Ecology and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year an army of volunteer naturalists and biologists observe and record changes in wildlife, sending on information for a time-series database being compiled by the Biological Records Centre (BRC). During the last 25 years the unprecedented and rapid changes in land use and environmental management that have occurred have ensured an increasing importance for the BRC. These papers trace the origins and history of the Biological Research Centre and review the effects of environmental changes on wildlife through case studies. Future applications and the effects of policies are also considered.
Download or read book Integrated Approach to Environmental Data Management Systems written by Nilgun B. Harmanciogammalu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated approach to environmental data management is necessitated by the complexity of the environmental problems that need to be addresses, coupled with the interdisciplinary approach that needs to be adopted to solve them. Agenda 21 of the Rio Environmental Conference mandated international programmes and organizations to take steps to develop common data and information management plans, and steps have been taken in this direction. The key word that defines the framework of the present book is `integration'. The book establishes the basics of integrated approaches and covers environmental data management systems within that framework, covering all aspects of data management, from objectives and constraints, design of data collection networks, statistical and physical sampling, remote sensing and GIS, databases, reliability of data, data analysis, and the transformation of data into information.
Download or read book Insect Conservation Past Present and Prospects written by Tim R. New and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of interest and practice in insect conservation is summarised and traced through contributions from many of the leaders in the discipline, to provide the first broad global account of how insects have become incorporated into considerations of conservation. The essays collectively cover the genesis and development of insect conservation, emphasising its strong foundation within the northern temperate regions and the contrasts with much of the rest of the world. Major present-day scenarios are discussed, together with possible developments and priorities in insect conservation for the future.

Book excerpt: Global warming is going to change the climate of our world during the next century. It is predicted that within around 50 years summers in the UK will be 2C warmer and winters 4C milder. This increase in temperature would harm many of our rare plant and animal species. It would affect all aspects of land-use: farming, forestry, industry, recreation and wildlife. How can we protect our rare species and ensure their survival? Which are most at risk? This booklet analyzes the effects on our grasslands, verges and the passage and migration of birds, summarizing the research on probable effects on rare species and climate change in Great Britain.

Download or read book Managing Set aside Land for Wildlife written by L. G. Firbank and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 1993 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are raising sheep or stone curlews, growing cereals or lowland heath - managing farmland for wildlife involves the same process of farm management as agricultural production. The quality of Britain's rural environment has great potential for improvement through the set-aside scheme, but only if managed appropriately. This reference guide has been written specifically to help farmers and their advisors to manage set-aside land for wildlife. It should also be of interest to all those concerned with wildlife management and habitat restoration in general. The guide covers a range of management options for rotational set-aside, non-rotational set-aside, and longer-term habitat restoration.

Download or read book Air Quality Management written by Ronald E. Hester and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 1997 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of air quality is currently at the forefront of international debate. With authors drawn from international experts in their respective fields, Air Quality Management provides comprehensive coverage of the air quality management issue. There are chapters on improving air quality in the UK, the construction of emissions inventories and the design and operation of air monitoring networks. Validation of air pollution models, requiring source receptor modelling, is described, as is the use of geochemical or biological tolerances known as critical loads to determine the maximum allowable inputs of pollutants to the terrestrial environment. The first European Auto-Oil Study, which was sponsored by the European Commission in order to identify the most cost-effective means of meeting air quality targets, is included as a case study. There is also reference to the successes and problems of air pollution control in California, the US state which has pioneered the promotion of vigorous air pollution control measures. Air Quality Management provides a vital source of material for all those involved in the field, whether as a student, industrialist, consultant, or government agency with responsibility in this area.
