Download or read book Taiga written by Trevor Day and published by Heinemann-Raintree Library. This book was released on 2010 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taiga forests occupy a larger area than all the tropical rain forests. These dark, mostly coniferous, forests grow in a band of extreme weather circling the northern hemisphere from Alaska to Japan. Biologists divide the living world into major zones called biomes, including deserts, oceans, tropical forests, and tundra. Looking at biomes helps us understand the connections between our planet's climate and the plants and animals that live there. Biomes also have a huge impact on people. Each book reveals the fascinating web of relationships between climate, plants, animals, and people that makes every biome unique. Inside this book Superb photography, bringing each biome dramatically to life Clear maps of each major region of every featured habitat identify the main areas of environmental stress Fact panels give at-a-glance information on each region Meets curriculum standards for the study of biomes and their importance for plants, animals, and people Glossary, sources of further information, and index Book jacket.

Download or read book Forest Ecosystems in the Alaskan Taiga written by K. van Cleve and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information presented in this book is the result of combined research efforts of scientists at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, the Institute of Northern Forestry, USDA Forest Service, and the Systems Ecology Research Group, San Diego State University. The objective of the volume is to present a synthetic overview of structure and function of taiga forest ecosystems in interior Alaska. The data base for this work has appeared in earlier published articles including the special issue of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research Volume 13:5 (1983). Stimulus for this book was a conference held in Fairbanks from June 10-14, 1983. The papers presented at the conference were fore runners of the chapters in this book. We invited 19 scientists from North America and England to critique our research and synthesis efforts. Six of these people were asked to write introductory chapters for each section of the book. Formal presentation sessions, combined with field trips to research sites, introduced the invitees to the primary and secondary successional ecosystems with which we were dealing. A major wildfire, only 24 km from the University campus, was contained the week prior to the conference and one field trip provided graphic evidence of fire impact in subarctic forests. The conference conveners regretted that it was not possible to host a similar meeting during synthesis efforts in mid-January.

Download or read book Human Ecology written by Bernard Grant Campbell and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biologically as well as culturally sophisticated and drawing on an impressive array of archaeological and paleontological research, this new edition of a widely adopted primary and supplementary text explores human adaptations to environments over time. Campbell proceeds from earlier, simpler biomes to later, more complex ones, examining in their course selected aspects of the prehistory and history of the human species. Human Ecology offers a succinct introduction to the history of these adaptations within ecosystems, a shared concern among anthropologists, biologists, environmentalists, and the general reader.

Download or read book Human Ecology And Climatic Change written by David L. Peterson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Far North, a land of extreme weather and intense beauty, is the only region of North America whose ecosystems have remained reasonably intact. Humans are newcomers there and nature predominates. As is widely known, recent changes in the Earth's atmosphere have the potential to create rapid climatic shifts in our life-time and well into the future. These changes, a product of southern industrial society, will have the greatest impact on ecosystems at northern latitudes, which until now have remained largely undisturbed. In this fragile balance, as terrestrial and aquatic habitats change, animal and human populations will be irrevocably altered.

Download or read book Experimental Geographical Ecology written by Erland G. Kolomyts and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a paradigm of experimental geographical ecology and its core—landscape ecology—providing a number of empirical statistical models and ecological geographical concepts developed on the basis of these. It highlights the mechanisms of formation of regional- and local-level landscape-ecological systems, their natural and anthropogenic dynamics, and their evolutionary trends. It presents numerical methods of making landscape-ecological forecasts and assessing forest sustainability, and provides quantitative estimates of local and regional biotic regulation of the carbon cycle according to the scenarios of modern temperature growth and mitigation of warming, set out by the Paris (2015) Agreement on Climate Change. As such, the book will be a useful source of reference for field research, statistical and cartographic processing of the obtained data, mathematical modeling, geoecological interpretation of results, and the creation of theoretical schemes of geosystem analysis. It will appeal to specialists in the fields of geographical ecology, landscape-ecological modeling, and environmental forecasting.
