This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra se presenta en diez capítulos, los primeros cinco hacen referencia a los marcos institucional, jurídico, teórico, regional y conceptual, respectivamente. Se destaca de lo institucional,capitulo 1, todos los avances que existen sobre el tema de GIA desde lo global, hasta lo regional de Amazonia colombiana, pasando por el ámbito nacional; en lo jurídico, capitulo 2, se evidencian los diferentes instrumentos que se tienen como soporte para el desarrollo de los procesos de gestión de información ambiental; en lo teórico, contenido en el capitulo 3, se relacionan las aproximaciones sistémica y ecosistemita como soporte teórico del SIAT-AC, y también se hace una aproximación a la definición del desarrollo sostenible, la planificación del territorio y la gestión ambiental, entendiendo que son aspectos centrales que se estarán apoyando con este proceso del SIAT-AC. En el capitulo 5 se trata en detalle la conceptualización del modelo del sistema, y se establecen la definición, misión, visión, objetivos, principios, marco funcional, y análisis de la cadena de valor de la información del sistema bajo el enfoque del desarrollo sostenible. Lo relacionado con el alcance del SIAT-AC, se presenta en el numeral 5.9, entre otras cosas se describen los principales problemas identificados en la región relacionados con la GIA, se presentan y analizan las preguntas básicas, sobre las condiciones ambientales regionales, para las cuales se propone que el sistema apoye la obtención de sus respuestas, se hace una aproximación a los requerimientos de datos e información, los insumos de información, las herramientas necesarias para el sistema asociándolas a los actores y roles de estos, y se propone una priorización de fases para desarrollarlas; de igual manera se exponen aspectos como los beneficios que se obtendrán con el sistema funcionando, o los riesgos que puede tener su desarrollo, destacando los factores críticos de éxito y los requerimientos. La propuesta de modelo organizacional del SIAT-AC como red de información, se presenta en el capitulo6, se hace énfasis en los aspectos que se deben tener en cuenta para que la red interinstitucional regional que soporte el diseño, desarrollo y operación del sistema tenga éxito. Finalmente los capítulos 7 y 8, hacen referencia al planteamiento técnico, el primero, y al plan estratégico, el segundo. Con relación a lo técnico se plantean los principios de diseño, la arquitectura lógica y física. En lo que tiene que ver con el plan estratégico se hace énfasis en tres aspectos: desarrollo, implementación y sostenibilidad del proceso SIAT-AC.

This book was released on 2007-06-29 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: l presente documento expone los resultados obtenidos por el Instituto Sinchi relacionados con el diseño de la línea base para la Amazonia colombiana, considerando aspectos teóricos, conceptuales y metodológicos para el diseño de los indicadores ambientales y el aplicativo informativo para el manejo de la información. En la primera parte se presentan los conceptos y definiciones sobre el enfoque ecosistémico, desarrollo sostenible y la línea base dentro de la realidad amazónica colombiana, los cuales, son el punto de partida para el diseño de los indicadores ambientales para la región. Los indicadores propuestos por el Instituto SINCHI fueron seleccionados con base en su relevancia actual, su factibilidad de medición, el compromiso institucional para su mantenimiento en el tiempo y principalmente, que permitan hacer seguimiento al estado de los recursos naturales y el ambiente en la región. En la segunda parte se desarrolla la propuesta metodológica para el diseño de los indicadores, la cual está conformada por una síntesis de los procesos realizados, una descripción de los tipos de indicadores, la propuesta de unidades espaciales de referencia para el manejo de la información de cada indicador, una breve contextualización de los espacios geográficos en los cuales se aplican los indicadores y la propuesta de indicadores diseñados cada uno con su respectiva hoja metodológica. En la ultima parte se exponen los aspectos que se tendrán en cuenta para el manejo de la información, mediante lineamientos conceptuales y metodológicos de un sistema de monitoreo de los indicadores diseñados. Para esto se ha diseñado un sistema de información geográfica (SIG), que integra una aplicación de base de datos, con el cual se fortalecerán los procesos de análisis, síntesis y modelamiento de la información ambiental. De esta forma se espera dar soporte a la formulación de la política ambiental para la región y contribuir al manejo de los recursos naturales con criterios de sostenibilidad. Estas herramientas de análisis también facilitarán la integración de información ambiental de la Amazonia al Sistema de Información Ambiental para Colombia SIAC.

Download or read book Managing oil palm landscapes written by Lesley Potter and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study comprises a review of oil palm development and management across landscapes in the tropics. Seven countries have been selected for detailed analysis using surveys of the current literature, mainly spanning the last fifteen years. Indonesia and Malaysia are the obvious leaders in terms of area planted and levels of production and export, but also in literature generated on social and environmental challenges. In Latin America, Colombia is the dominant producer with oil palm expanding in disparate landscapes with a strong focus on palm oil-based biodiesel; and small-scale growers and companies in Peru and Brazil offer contrasting ways of inserting oil palm into the Amazon. Nigeria and Cameroon represent African nations with traditional groves and old plantations in which foreign ‘land grabs’ to establish new oil palm have recently occurred.

Download or read book Forest Landscape Restoration written by John Stanturf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners’ efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development. Since then, forest landscape restoration (FLR) has emerged as a practical approach to forest restoration particularly in developing countries, where an approach which is both large-scale and focuses on meeting human needs is required. Yet despite increased investigation into both the biological and social aspects of FLR, there has so far been little success in systematically integrating these two complementary strands. Bringing experts in landscape studies, natural resource management and forest restoration, together with those experienced in conflict management, environmental economics and urban studies, this book bridges that gap to define the nature and potential of FLR as a truly multidisciplinary approach to a global environmental problem. The book will provide a valuable reference to graduate students and researchers interested in ecological restoration, forest ecology and management, as well as to professionals in environmental restoration, natural resource management, conservation, and environmental policy.

Download or read book Plant Genomics written by Ibrokhim Y. Abdurakhmonov and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant genomics aims to sequence, characterize, and study the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and interactions/networks of an entire plant genome. Its development and advances are tightly interconnected with proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, transgenomics, genomic selection, bioinformatics, epigenomics, phenomics, system biology, modern instrumentation, and robotics sciences. Plant genomics has significantly advanced over the past three decades in the land of inexpensive, high-throughput sequencing technologies and fully sequenced over 100 plant genomes. These advances have broad implications in every aspect of plant biology and breeding, powered with novel genomic selection and manipulation tools while generating many grand challenges and tasks ahead. This Plant genomics provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications.

Download or read book Economic Growth and the Balance of Payments Constraint written by John McCombie and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '... a well written book ... covering ... a vast amount of material ... well balanced between the theoretical and applied works. The authors are judicious and fair in providing a balanced treatment of the two alternative theories of growth performance: supply-oriented and demand-oriented. The book will serve as a guideline to researchers and policymakers ... as a textbook for upperdivision undergraduate and graduate courses.'- Kashi Nath Tiwari, Kennesaw State College This is the first book of its kind to argue in a consistent and comprehensive way the idea that a country's growth performance cannot be properly understood without reference to the performance of its tradeable goods sector and the strength of its balance of payments. It puts forward a demand orientated theory of why growth rates differ between countries where the major constraint on demand is the balance of payments. The book is critical of neoclassical growth analysis and provides an alternative theory of growth performance to the supply orientated approach of neoclassical theory. There are theoretical chapters comparing and contrasting neoclassical growth analysis with the new demand orientated approach, and empirical sections which apply the new model to regions and countries, including two case studies of the UK and Australia.

Download or read book Heterodox Macroeconomics written by Robert A. Blecker and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Arial} The last few decades have witnessed an outpouring of literature on macroeconomic models in the broad ‘heterodox’ tradition of Marx, Keynes, Robinson, Kaldor and Kalecki. These models yield an alternative analytical framework in which the big questions of our day – such as how inequality is related to growth or stagnation, and whether long-run growth is stable or unstable – can be fruitfully addressed. Heterodox Macroeconomics provides an accessible, pedagogically oriented treatment of the leading models and approaches in heterodox macroeconomics with clear, step-by-step presentations of core models and their solutions, properties and implications.
