Download or read book Wetland written by Wojciech Halicki and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2018 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the function, services, importance and threats of natural and constructed wetlands. The first chapter presents one of the largest wetlands which is located in the West Siberian Lowland. This chapter presents the Lowland's geological history and its impact on the contemporary forms of wetlands in the form of peatlands, rivers and their floodplains, lakes, river deltas, estuaries, and swamps. A large part of the chapter is devoted to the inventory of these areas, their environmental functions, and their threats. Chapter Two, which is also related to the wetlands of the West Siberian Lowland, presents the impact of peatlands and swamps on the seasonal physicochemical composition of waters in rivers that are fed from peatlands and swamps. The third chapter concerns the threats to peatlands of the West Siberian Lowland, which are a consequence of oil extraction. The chapter also describes how the composition of peat changes due to this type of pollution and how it affects the vegetation. Chapter Four presents an extensive review of the ecology and geomorphology of the Danube River delta, which is one of the best preserved and more complex deltas in Europe in terms of evolution, morphology, landscapes, and biodiversity. Chapter Five presents the inventory and threats to wetlands in Oceania and South Asian countries; special attention is given to the type of threats to the wetlands in each country. Chapter Six discusses the current state of wetlands and their importance in Central Europe, using Hungary as an example. Chapter Seven focuses on the International Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar Convention) and presents the Convention's history, development, and its main bodies. The chapter also discusses the evaluation of its protection measures based on the example of the Polish environmental conservation system. Chapter Eight presents the multiservice and functions of constructed wetlands in order to boost this infrequently used technology and highlight the diversity of its applications. The last chapter presents the evolution of constructed wetlands used for wastewater treatment, which begins with irrigation fields and finishes with a modern solution as improved wetland systems are combined with water reuse.
Download or read book Microalgae written by Melanie N. Johansen and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microalgae are microscopic algae, typically found in freshwater and marine systems. Microalgae, capable of performing photosynthesis, are important for life on earth; they produce approximately half of the atmospheric oxygen and use simultaneously the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to grow photoautotrophically. The biodiversity of microalgae is enormous and they represent an almost untapped resource. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of microalgae, including microalgal biotechnological applications in nutrition, health and the environment; using microalgae biomass for biodiesel and biofuel production and microalgae for aquaculture.

This comprenhensive volume looks in detail at algal genomics and metabolomics as well as mass production of microalgae. As a whole, the two-volume set covers all micro and macro algal forms and their traditional uses; their constituents which are of value for food, feed, specialty chemicals, bioactive compounds for novel applications, and bioenergy molecules. Bio-business and the market share of algae-based products are also dealt with, providing global perspectives.
Download or read book Camp for Free written by John Soares and published by Get Outside Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated for 2023! Did you know that you can camp for free on much of America’s public lands? Boondocking/dispersed camping is growing rapidly in popularity as more and more people take to their vans, RVs, SUVs, trucks, and cars to explore the backroads of America’s forests and deserts in search of solitude and natural beauty. I Have a Lot of Experience Doing Dispersed Camping! I'm John Soares, a writer for businesses and nonprofits for over three decades, and also the author of four hiking guidebooks on Northern California. I've been doing dispersed camping for 30-plus years in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and other states. In this book I bring all my knowledge, experience, and research together to clearly explain everything you need to know to get out into nature on national forest and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands and find primo camping spots, while saving a ton of money in the process. This Book is Your Bible for Dispersed Camping and Boondocking Here’s what Camp for Free: Dispersed Camping & Boondocking on America’s Public Lands covers: -- In-depth discussion of the different types of federal and state lands where you can camp for free, including dispersed camping and boondocking on national forests, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, national monuments, and more -- Clear explanation of how to research the best areas to go dispersed camping and boondocking, and where to find the best advice on finding campsites -- Detailed guidelines that help you find excellent campsites once you’re out on dirt roads in the hills, forest, or desert – and what you need to do to not get lost! -- A list of the key characteristics of a good dispersed campsite, and how to make sure it’s a good fit for your specific needs -- How you can minimize your impact on the land, including applying Leave No Trace principles -- What you need to do to be as safe as possible when camping and exploring -- How to keep your dogs safe -- Advice on where to legally sleep along highways and in and near towns and cities -- A comprehensive list of everything you need to take with you to have a thoroughly enjoyable dispersed camping experience -- A clear definition of dispersed camping, and why I use it more than “boondocking,” which is more common among RV folks. I also define similar terms, such as free camping, primitive camping, dry camping, and wild camping. -- A comparison of dispersed camping with regular pay campgrounds, and why, despite the cost and potential noise and other hassles, it can occasionally be a good idea to stay in a campground. -- Discussion and ranking of the variety of vehicles you can use for dispersed camping: full-size vans, trucks with camper shells, minivans, RVs, travel trailers, cars, and motorcycles. Only have a regular car? No problem—you can still do this! The book includes 25 photos, plus maps showing the distribution of U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands across the United States. What This Book Is – and What It Is Not There are hundreds of thousands of places where you can legally boondock and do dispersed camping in the United States, so this is not a guidebook to specific places. Rather, it’s how-to manual that makes sure you know how to find the best dispersed camping and boondocking sites in the United States, and that you maximize your enjoyment and safety. My Website Has a Wealth of Boondocking/Dispersed Camping Resources In the introduction and throughout the book you'll see my website address. The website helps you find the best dispersed camping spots and get the most out of your dispersed camping experiences. It includes websites and apps that help you find specific campsites.
Download or read book Sustainable Aquaculture written by Faisal I. Hai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about important relevant recent research topics in sustainable aquaculture practices. A critical assessment of the sustainable fishing methods and the aspect of sustainable aquaculture feed is presented in this volume. A special focus has been given to socio-economic and environmental assessment of aquaculture practices and analysis of carbon footprint under an intensive aquaculture regime. Aquaponics as a niche for sustainable modern aquaculture has been highlighted. The effect of use of pharmaceuticals to prevent fish disease on the surrounding marine environment is an emerging area of concern, and a critical discussion on this aspect is included in the book. The spread of organic waste and nutrients released by fish farms to natural water bodies has raised considerable concerns. Therefore the methods to prevent their dispersion and removal (treatment) have been comprehensively covered in this book. This book is an essential read for academician, researchers, and policy makers in the field of aquaculture.
