Mangroves are littoral plant formation found in tropical and sub-tropical countries and occurs on the margins of oceans and estuaries. In this book all the aspects of mangrove forest have been discussed. The biodiversity, floristic composition and taxonomy have been enumerated very nicely. The loss of mangrove forest and its conservation and management aspects have been given in details. A case study of mangrove forests of Andaman islands and South Japan has been documented in details.

Download or read book Ecology Diversity and Sustainability of the Middle Rio Grande Basin written by Deborah M. Finch and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book synthesizes existing information on the ecology, diversity, human uses, and research needs of the Middle Rio Grande Basin of New Mexico. Divided into nine chapters, the volume begins with reviews of the environmental history and human cultures in the Basin, followed by an analysis of the influences and problems of climate and water. Later chapters focus on ecological processes, environmental changes, management problems, and current conditions in Basin ecosystems identified as being especially susceptible to damage: pinyon-juniper woodlands, grasslands and shrublands, and the riparian bosque of the Rio Grande. Research needs associated with land management problems are identified for each of these ecosystem types. Many interrelated factors, identified here, have contributed to deteriorating environmental conditions in the Basin. Concluding chapters on the belowground ecology of specific Basin ecosystems and on declining populations of native fish species highlight topics in need of further attention. Each chapter seeks to identify studies that can supply information to mitigate environmental problems, rehabilitate ecosystems, and sustain them in light of human values and needs.

Download or read book Dynamic Aquaria written by Walter H. Adey and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-29 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its third edition, this praised book demonstrates how the living systems modeling of aquatic ecosystems for ecological, biological and physiological research, and ecosystem restoration can produce answers to very complex ecological questions. Dynamic Aquaria further offers an understanding developed in 25 years of living ecosystem modeling and discusses how this knowledge has produced methods of efficiently solving many environmental problems. Public education through this methodology is the additional key to the broader ecosystem understanding necessary to allow human society to pass through the next evolutionary bottleneck of our species. Living systems modeling as a wide spectrum educational tool can provide a primary vehicle for that essential step. This third editon covers the many technological and biological developments in the eight plus years since the second edition, providing updated technological advice and describing many new example aquarium environments. - Includes 16 page color insert with 57 color plates and 25% new photographs - Offers 300 figures and 75 tables - New chapter on Biogeography - Over 50% new research in various chapters - Significant updates in chapters include: - The understanding of coral reef function especially the relationship between photosynthesis and calcification - The use of living system models to solve problems of biogeography and the geographic dispersal and interaction of species populations - The development of new techniques for global scale restoration of water and atmosphere - The development of new techniques for closed system, sustainable aquaculture
Download or read book Unearthing and Harnessing the Power of the Soil Microbiome and Mycorrhizas to Enhance Plant Nutrient Utilization Under Climate Stress written by Marika Pellegrini and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth's population, currently estimated at 7.86 billion, is expected to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050. This increase will inevitably lead to a greater pressure on agricultural land in order to achieve food security. However, agricultural sustainability is still constrained by its over-reliance on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. These conventional practices may lead to severe negative environmental consequences, typically evidenced by a loss in soil organic matter and reduction in soil microbial diversity, negatively impacting on food production. The challenging situation identified above is likely to be worsened by climate change, soil health deterioration, and by a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Biotic and abiotic stress management, enhancement of crop yields, nutrient cycling, and natural bio-resources harnessing optimization can be achieved by modifying the soil microbiome. Discovering and exploiting potentially beneficial soil microbes is crucial to achieving sustainable agriculture production in the face of these issues. Among the plethora of potentially beneficial microbes, plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are often considered to be safe and environment-friendly tools to deal with various stresses. The interest in adopting novel methods that increase crop yield, soil health, and fertility will be positively impacted by a better understanding of the fate and behaviour of PGPM and AMF use in agriculture.
