Download or read book Climate diagram Maps written by H. Walter and published by Springer. This book was released on 1976-03-14 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate-diagram maps contained in this volume are to serve for a quick orientation of the climate and its zonation in the various world regions, which are discussed in Volumes I-IX of this series. Some of these regional vegetation monographs are already published, others are still in preparation. The climate diagrams used in this volume are from the «Klimadiagramm-Weltatlas» by H. WALTER and H. LIETH, prepared with additional help of E. HARNICKELL (VEB Gustav-Fischer-Verlag, Jena 1960-1967). A few new climate-diagrams had to be drafted for Canada, Venezuela and Central Asia. On the maps, the individual climate-diagrams are placed, wherever possible, directly on the location of the station. However, in some cases the diagrams had to be shifted a little in order to accommodate as many as permitted by the geographic scale of the map. For coastal stations, it was best to move them onto the space provided by the ocean. Wherever diagrams were widely displaced, an arrow indicates the location of the station. The more exact location of each station is given in the «Klimadiagramm-Weltatlas», where the stations are shown with their respective number on the reverse side of each map. The number of climate-diagrams in the Atlas (approx. 8,000) is much greater than those that can be shown here. This volume is therefore not a substitute for the «Klimadiagramm-Weltatlas».

Download or read book Ecoregions written by Robert G. Bailey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global warming and human-driven impacts are changing the World’s ecological zones. This book applies the principles described in Bailey’s Ecosystem Geography: From Ecoregions to Sites, 2nd ed. (Springer 2009, 1st ed. 1996) to describe and characterize the major terrestrial and aquatic ecological zones of the Earth. Bailey’s system for classifying these zones has been adopted by major organizations such as the U.S. Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy and this book is a significant contribution to a long tradition of classifying and studying the world’s ecological regions or ecoregions. It includes two color maps that show the major ecoregions of the continents and oceans. Also included are: - 106 illustrations with 55 in full color - A new chapter on mountains is included. - There are new sections that address concerns about how eco regions are changing under the relentless influence of humans and climate change - Another new feature is the discussion of using eco regional patterns to transfer research results and select sites for detecting climate change effects on ecosystem distribution - Use of ecoregional patterns to design monitoring networks and sustainable landscapes - Fire regimes in different regional ecosystems and their management implications.
Download or read book Vegetation of the Earth and Ecological Systems of the Geo biosphere written by Heinrich Walter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phytomass and Primary Production of the Various Vegetational Zones and of the Entire Biosphere The biosphere is that thin layer at the earth's surface in which living organisms exist and biological cycling takes place. It includes the upper horizons of the soil in which plants root, the atmosphere near the ground, (insofar as organisms penetrate this space), and all the surface waters. More than 99% of the earth's biomass is phytomass, to which we shall limit our discussion. Amounts of phytomass are distinctly related to vegeta tional zones. Because accurate determination of phytomass and primary production is difficult, only gross estimates have been available until recently. However, in 1970, Bazilevich et al. published (in Russian) more accurate calculations, based on the rapidly accumulating literature, for the various thermal zones and bioclimatic regions of the earth. These authors calculated mean phyto mass and mean annual primary production for the various regions as dry mass (in tons) per hectare. On the basis of measurements of the areas covered by the individual regions, excluding rivers, lakes, glaciers, and permanent snow, total phytomass and total annual primary production for the various regions were obtained (see table). The sum of these figures is the phytomass and annual production of the land surface of the earth. In addition, the table gives corresponding data for the waters of the earth. The values involved are potential i. e. , they are based on natural vegetation uninfluenced by man.

Download or read book Ecosystem Geography written by Robert G. Bailey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis and management of ecosystems rely increasingly on sound geographical knowledge. Ecosystem Geography is a landmark contribution which brings the geographer's tools - maps, scales, boundaries, and units - to the study of ecosystems. The author, a senior geographer and program manager with the U.S. Forest Service, has distilled more than two decades of research on ecosystem mapping and classification. His work has had a growing influence on how government and academic scientists are using ecological data to monitor biodiversity, manage land holdings, and interpret the results of climatic change. Ecosystem Geography features spectacular graphics, including diagrams, photographs, and abundant maps. It will be welcomed by ecologists, geographers, land and resource specialists, and anyone involved in the study of ecosystems.

Download or read book Handbook of Water Harvesting and Conservation written by Faezeh Eslamian and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water harvesting is gaining more and more recognition as the sustainable and resilient alternative to other water supply options. It is economically viable, socially compatible and environmentally friendly. Water harvesting has proven to be a robust solution to overcome or reduce water shortages all over the world. To apply this in a sustainable and effective way, it is important to understand exactly where it can be applied to make full use of its potential. The Handbook of Water Harvesting and Conservation: Case Studies and Application Examples is the most comprehensive, up-to-date and applied casebook on water harvesting and conservation yet published. The editors bring together the many perspectives into a synthesis that is both academically-based and practical in its potential applications. The Handbook of Water Harvesting and Conservation: Case Studies and Application Examples will be an important tool for education, research and technical works in the soil, water and watershed management area, and will be highly useful for drought strategy planning, flood management and adaptation to climate change in all urban, agricultural, forest, rangeland areas.
