Download or read book Tropical Forests written by Padmini Sudarshana and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astounding richness and biodiversity of tropical forests is rapidly dwindling. This has severely altered the vital biogeochemical cycles of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen etc. and has led to the change in global climate and pristine natural ecosystems. In this elegant book, we have defined "Tropical Forests" broadly, into five different themes: (1) tropical forest structure, synergy, synthesis, (2) tropical forest fragmentation, (3) impact of anthropogenic pressure, (4) Geographic Information System and remote sensing, and (5) tropical forest protection and process. The cutting-edge synthesis, detailed current reviews, several original data-rich case studies, recent experiments/experiences from leading scientists across the world are presented as unique chapters. Though, the chapters differ noticeably in the geographic focus, diverse ecosystems, time and approach, they share these five important themes and help in understanding, educating, and creating awareness on the role of "Tropical Forests" for the very survival of mankind, climate change, and the diversity of biota across the globe. This book will be of great use to the students, scientists, ecologists, population and conservation biologists, and forest managers across the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-curricular projects - Progetti CLIL per la Scuola Secondaria Inferiore is a photocopiable resource book for Italian lower secondary school teachers who are interested in doing CLIL projects. This photocopiable book plus audio CD will be very useful for those schools which allocate extra teaching hours for English as part of the new Italian 'riforma'. - Many of the activities will help students with the oral part of the Italian State exam at the end of the 'Scuola Superiore di Primo Grado'. (12-14 year olds). - It contains a variety of texts and text-tasks for mixed-ability classes. - Each project can be assessed so that students can include their results in their language Portfolio. - The projects can be used as stand-alone. They do not need the support of any core English course. - They can be taught in a variety of classes. - The themes deal with 'convivenza civile' (social, moral, cultural development issues) in compliance with the new Italian 'riforma'. - The book contains 5 projects divided into themes: 1. How green are you? 2. Keep it safe 3. Forces of Nature 4. Citizens of the world 5. A look at the past

Download or read book Tropical Rain Forest Ecology Diversity and Conservation written by Jaboury Ghazoul and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-10 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rain forests represent the world's richest repository of terrestrial biodiversity, and play a major role in regulating the global climate. They support the livelihoods of a substantial proportion of the world's population and are the source of many internationally traded commodities. They remain (despite decades of conservation attention) increasingly vulnerable to degradation and clearance, with profound though often uncertain future costs to global society. Understanding the ecology of these diverse biomes, and peoples' dependencies on them, is fundamental to their future management and conservation. Tropical Rain Forest Ecology, Diversity, and Conservation introduces and explores what rain forests are, how they arose, what they contain, how they function, and how humans use and impact them. The book starts by introducing the variety of rain forest plants, fungi, microorganisms, and animals, emphasising the spectacular diversity that is the motivation for their conservation. The central chapters describe the origins of rain forest communities, the variety of rain forest formations, and their ecology and dynamics. The challenge of explaining the species richness of rain forest communities lies at the heart of ecological theory, and forms a common theme throughout. The book's final section considers historical and current interactions of humans and rain forests. It explores biodiversity conservation as well as livelihood security for the many communities that are dependent on rain forests - inextricable issues that represent urgent priorities for scientists, conservationists, and policy makers.
Download or read book Tropical Montane Cloud Forests written by Lawrence S. Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until relatively recently the valuable tropical montane cloud forests (hereaf ter usually referred to as TMCFs) of the world had scarcely come under the assaults experienced by the downslope montane and lowland forests. TMCFs are not hospitable environments for human occupation, and their remoteness (except in places near Andean high mountain settlements and in the Ethiopian Highlands) and difficult terrain have given them de facto protection. The ad jacent upper montane rain forests have indeed been under assault for timber, fuelwood, and for conversion to grazing and agriculture for many decades, even centuries in the Andes, but true cloud forest has only come under ex ploitation as these lower elevational resources have disappeared. They have also been "nibbled" at from above where there have been alpine grasslands under grazing pressure. Increasingly now, however, these cloud forest eco systems are being fragmented, reduced, and disturbed at an alarming rate. It is now becoming recognized that steps must be taken rapidly to increase our understanding of TMCF and to achieve their conservation, because: their water-capture function is extremely important to society; • their species endemism is high; they serve as refugia for endangered species being marginalized in these environments by increasingly transformed lower elevation ecosystems; they are relatively little studied; yet, their value to science is extremely high; they have low resilience to disturbance; vii viii Preface and many other reasons, which will be discussed subsequently in this publi cation.
