Download or read book Locusts written by Sandra Markle and published by Lerner Publications. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pay attention to these insects on the move—locusts! Usually, locusts live alone. When there is lots of food, the locust population grows. But when the weather turns dry and grasses die, the locusts are forced to live close together, and they go through amazing changes. Their colors become brighter, and their eyes become larger. They fly off in great swarms searching for food. Millions of locusts might land in a farmer’s field and have a feast. When nothing green is left, the swarm flies off again. After they finally run out of food, the locusts separate and change again. In this exciting book, you can learn what makes locusts similar to and different from other insects. Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about locusts’ bodies, both inside and out. This book contains hands-on activities that help you understand how far locusts jump and how they make sounds. Learn more about this member of nature’s fascinating Insect World!

Book excerpt: 2009 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice This acclaimed textbook is the most comprehensive available in the field of forest ecology. Designed for advanced students of forest science, ecology, and environmental studies, it is also an essential reference for forest ecologists, foresters, and land managers. The authors provide an inclusive survey of boreal, temperate, and tropical forests with an emphasis on ecological concepts across scales that range from global to landscape to microscopic. Situating forests in the context of larger landscapes, they reveal the complex patterns and processes observed in tree-dominated habitats. The updated and expanded second edition covers • Conservation • Ecosystem services • Climate change • Vegetation classification • Disturbance • Species interactions • Self-thinning • Genetics • Soil influences • Productivity • Biogeochemical cycling • Mineralization • Effects of herbivory • Ecosystem stability
Download or read book The Locust written by Tanya Turner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Locust look familiar to you? Well, that's because it belongs to the family of grasshoppers. If you compare how a Locust and grasshopper look, you will realize that Locusts are just short-horned grasshoppers. There are different species of grasshoppers, and a Locust is just one of them. Locusts actually prefer being alone in normal situations. When they are in small numbers, this type of insect is harmless - as harmless as regular grasshoppers. Things are a lot different when Locusts are in abundance. In this case, they will automatically change their behavior and become very destructive. How destructive? Well, destructive enough to damage crops and cause hunger issues for people. Ready to learn more about the Locust? Have a copy of this book and learn more about this interesting animal of nature.
Download or read book Born with a Veil written by Ruby Aline Baker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing things that others can’t is terribly confusing to a young child. Realizing you are different causes problems that no child should have to face. He or she learns to stay quiet about seeing ghosts or spirits and to talk only to loved ones who understand what is going on. As I got older, the ghosts seemed to become scarier, and some were violent. My husband had his doubts about my ghosts until he started experiencing some of the ghostly things with me. I hope this book will help those who see things and let them know they are not alone or insane.
Download or read book Rhizosphere Biology Interactions Between Microbes and Plants written by Vadakattu V. S. R. Gupta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a detailed discussion on the direct interactions of plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere environment. It includes fifteen chapters, each focusing on a specific component of plant-microbe interactions, such as the influence of plants on the root microbiome, and the downstream effects of rhizosphere microbial dynamics on carbon and nutrient fluxes in the surroundings. As such, the book helps readers gain a better understanding of diversity above the ground, and its effect on the microbiome and its functionality.
Download or read book Methods in Ecosystem Science written by Osvaldo E. Sala and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-08-11 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecology at the ecosystem level has both necessitated and benefited from new methods and technologies as well as those adapted from other disciplines. With the ascendancy of ecosystem science and management, the need has arisen for a comprehensive treatment of techniques used in this rapidly-growing field. Methods in Ecosystem Science answers that need by synthesizing the advantages, disadvantages and tradeoffs associated with the most commonly used techniques in both aquatic and terrestrial research. The book is divided into sections addressing carbon and energy dynamics, nutrient and water dynamics, manipulative ecosystem experiements and tools to synthesize our understanding of ecosystems. Detailed information about various methods will help researchers choose the most appropriate methods for their particular studies. Prominent scientists discuss how tools from a variety of disciplines can be used in ecosystem science at different scales.

Download or read book Carbon Dioxide and Environmental Stress written by Luo Yiqi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-04-13 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the interactive effects of environmental stresses with plant and ecosystem functions, especially with respect to changes in the abundance of carbon dioxide. The interaction of stresses with elevated carbon dioxide are presented from the cellular through whole plant ecosystem level. The book carefully considers not only the responses of the above-ground portion of the plant, but also emphasizes the critical role of below-ground (rhizosphere) components (e.g., roots, microbes, soil) in determining the nature and magnitude of these interactions. * Will rising CO2 alter the importance of environmental stress in natural and agricultural ecosystems?* Will environmental stress on plants reduce their capacity to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?* Are some stresses more important than others as we concern ourselves with global change?* Can we develop predictive models useful for scientists and policy-makers?* Where should future research efforts be focused?
