Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the fastest growing scientific disciplines in recent history is conservation biology. A response of the scientific community to the massive environmental changes taking place on Earth, its goal is to enable society to anticipate, prevent, and reduce ecological damage, and to generate the scientific information from which effective conservation strategies and policies can be designed and implemented.In 1989, the Society for Conservation Biology and Island Press produced Research Priorities for Conservation Biology, a slim volume that set forth the findings of experts who had gathered to outline research needs for the near future, and which served as a guidepost for the field throughout the 1990s. In January 2000, leaders of the Society for Conservation Biology convened a similar group to reach consensus on where the field now stands and to determine the major, compelling research priorities for the next decade. Conservation Biology: Research Priorities for the Next Decade presents the results of that gathering.The book: notes progress or changes in the state of global biodiversity over the past decade and discusses overarching themes that influence all areas of conservation offers ten chapters by leading experts that summarize the status of knowledge in key areas ranging from marine conservation to ecological restoration to conservation medicine sets forth research priorities for each area describes gaps in current knowledge that are impeding the ability of conservation practitioners to carry out their workA final synthesis chapter brings together cross-cutting themes that integrate the diverse topics within the context of global biodiversity loss, and presents a call to action for scientists and others working in the field.Conservation Biology: Research Priorities for the Next Decade represents an indispensable guide to the research that is most urgently needed to support effective conservation, and will be must reading for anyone involved with the field of conservation biology.

Download or read book Climate Change and Crop Stress written by Arun K.Shanker and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate Change and Crop Stress: Molecules to Ecosystems expounds on the transitional period where science has progressed to ‘post-genomics’ and the gene editing era, putting field performance of crops to the forefront and challenging the production of practical applicability vs. theoretical possibility. Researchers have concentrated efforts on the effects of environmental stress conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, cold, or pathogen infection which can have a devastating impact on plant growth and yield. Designed to deliver information to combat stress both in isolation and through simultaneous crop stresses, this edited compilation provides a comprehensive view on the challenges and impacts of simultaneous stresses. Presents a multidisciplinary view of crop stresses, empowering readers to quickly align their individual experience and perspective with the broader context Combines the mechanistic aspects of stresses with the strategic aspects Presents both abiotic and biotic stresses in a single volume

Download or read book Plant Responses to Elevated CO2 written by A. Raschi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere since the start of industrialization, and the global warming associated with this greenhouse gas, has stimulated research into the response of plants to elevated levels of CO2. Much of this work has been carried out in controlled environments which provide limited information about long-term effects on vegetation. In contrast, CO2-emitting mineral springs provide a unique opportunity to consider vegetation which has endured over many generations at naturally elevated levels of CO2. This volume presents findings from a range of sites, confirming the potential of these natural laboratories in the investigation of this important aspect of climate change.
Download or read book Interactive Effects of Elevated Carbon Dioxide and Ozone on an Insect Transmitted Plant Virus written by Emily Catherine Pollina and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disease epidemics can profoundly shape the ecosystems of which they are a part, affecting productivity, nutrient cycling, community composition, and species interactions. Recent changes to global ecosystems can modify the effects of disease on organisms or ecosystems, but the nature and extent of these modifications are thus far little understood, particularly for plant viruses. Among the important drivers of complex changes in ecosystems are changing levels of atmospheric gases including the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and the oxidizing agent ozone. I used open top chambers in the field to examine the effects of rising carbon dioxide and ozone levels on the spread and severity of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), an economically and environmentally important pathogen of plants in the grass tribe. I examined the effects on viral fitness and viral spread in monocultures of the epidemiologically important host Avena fatua and in mixtures of A. fatua and Setaria lutescens, a poor host of the pathogen. In monocultures of A. fatua, within-host viral fitness declined with ozone concentrations, but addition of carbon dioxide to ozone restored within-host viral fitness to ambient levels. Despite reduced virus concentration in ozonated plants, transmission of the virus did not significantly decrease with gas treatment, suggesting that no abatement of BYDV epidemics is likely under future atmospheric conditions. Ozone also reduced host vegetative and reproductive biomass in monocultures. While adding carbon dioxide to the ozone restored vegetative biomass to ambient levels, it did not compensate for losses in reproduction. If this pattern extended to crop species, yield of major grain crops such as wheat, oats, and barley could be severely reduced. In mixtures of Avena and Setaria, within-host viral fitness and transmission iii rates in both Avena and Setaria were enhanced. In addition, when Avena and Setaria were grown in competition, carbon dioxide reduced the benefits to Avena of growing in mixtures across infection treatments. Although presence in mixtures significantly suppressed growth in Setaria, CO2 increased reproductive output in infected plants. These results highlight the potential importance of disease in plant competition under changing global atmospheres. Overall, these studies demonstrate the complex interactions between atmospheric conditions and community context that are likely to regulate both disease establishment and plant health under future atmospheric conditions. iv.
