This book was released on 1998 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant communities found on peatland soils include forests, basin shrublands, and seepage communities. The ecology and management of six communities are reviewed, with an emphasis on land uses associated with Department of Defense (DoD) installations. Peatland plant communities in the southeastern United States are important to landscape and regional biodiversity because they are often the only natural areas that have not been converted to urban or agricultural uses, and they support several threatened, endangered, and sensitive species (TES). Several of these plant communities are rare due to alterations in fire and hydrology over large expanses of the region. The discussion includes ecological descriptions for each community, information about occurrences on DoD installations throughout the southeast, the contribution of these communities to regional biodiversity, and known occurrences of plant TES associated with these communities. Also included in the discussion are outlines for determining community quality, indicators of quality, known and potential impacts to the integrity of TES habitat for these communities, and management of these impacts. Special consideration is given to the impacts and management of timber harvesting, alterations in hydrology (drainage), and changes in fire regime since they are most likely to affect peatland communities on DoD installations.

Download or read book The Handbook of Nature written by Frank R. Spellman and published by Government Institutes. This book was released on 2012 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of nature is a complex science involving many different fields from geology and meteorology to biology, zoology, and botany. This complexity indicates nature's broad scope of impact. It is at once beautiful and dangerous, displaying power beyond human control. An understanding of the basic principles and concepts of the study of nature is therefore both enriching and practical. In The Handbook of Nature, authors Frank R. Spellman and Joni Price-Bayer provide a comprehensive guide to the study of nature in terms the layperson can grasp easily. This accessible reference work is for the non-specialist looking for quick, accurate information on all aspects of the study of nature. The handbook is arranged thematically for a logical and user-friendly progression through the material. It includes chapters on the earth's structure and landforms, the atmosphere and weather, water and water sources, and the many different forms of life from single-celled organisms to complex vertebrates. Along with basic natural scientific principles, the authors look closely at the consequences of human interactions with the environment we inhabit. This reference concludes with a glossary and index, and each chapter provides further resources and recommended reading. It is an essential tool for students and professionals alike.

Download or read book Ecology for Nonecologists written by Frank R. Spellman and published by Government Institutes. This book was released on 2007-12-24 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for anyone who works with chemicals or has a general interest in ecology, this book examines the interrelationship of life forms in our environment and provides straightforward explanations about the complicated interactions among nature and humans. Emphasizing basic concepts, definitions, and descriptions, the author presents illustrative problems in terms of commonly used ecological parameters to provide readers with enough information to make technical and personal decisions about ecology. Funneling the broad, multidisciplinary field of ecology—which incorporates aspects of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, meteorology, agriculture, forestry, and more—into a single stream, the author provides those with backgrounds in only a handful, or even none, of these disciplines with an easy-to-read understanding of the functions and values of ecology and its interrelationships with other sciences, including ecology's direct impact on our lives. Organized into three parts, this book examines the fundamentals of ecology, the role of biodiversity, and the practical side of ecology. Readers will examine such topics as biogeochemical cycles, ecological pyramids, and the laws of population ecology. They will also examine species, terrestrial ecosystems, and aquatic systems. Each chapter ends with a Chapter Review Test.

These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.
