Book Ecosystem Dynamics of the Boreal Forest

Download or read book Ecosystem Dynamics of the Boreal Forest written by Charles J. Krebs and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2001 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The boreal forest is one of the world's great ecosystems, stretching across North America and Eurasia in an unbroken band and containing about 25% of the world's closed canopy forests. The Kluane Boreal Forest Ecosystem Project was a 10-year study by nine of Canada's leading ecologists to unravel the impact of the snowshoe hare cycle on the plants and the other vertebrate species in the boreal forest. In much of the boreal forest, the snowshoe hare acts as a keystone herbivore, fluctuating in 9-10 year cycles, and dragging along secondary cycles in predators such as lynx and great-horned owls. By manipulating the ecosystem on a large scale from the bottom via fertilizer additions and from the top by predator exclosures, they have traced the plant-herbivore relationships and the predator-prey relationships in this ecosystem to try to answer the question of what drives small mammal population cycles. This study is unique in being large scale and experimental on a relatively simple ecosystem, with the overall goal of defining what determines community structure in the boreal forest. Ecosystem Dynamics of the Boreal Forest: The Kluane Project summarizes these findings, weaving new discoveries of the role of herbivores-turned-predators, compensatory plant growth, and predators-eating-predators with an ecological story rich in details and clear in its findings of a community where predation plays a key role in determining the fate of individuals and populations. The study of the Kluane boreal forest raises key questions about the scale of conservation required for boreal forest communities and the many mammals and birds that live there.

Book Audubon Wildlife Report 1987

Download or read book Audubon Wildlife Report 1987 written by Roger L. Di Silvestro and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audubon Wildlife Report 1987 covers important events that highlighted wildlife conservation in 1986. This book is an attempt by the National Audubon Society to gather together much of the diverse data about federal wildlife-policy administration, providing a vast array of data on federal wildlife management and comparative tables on the budgeting process. This text also examines many federal wildlife programs, from the migratory bird protection program, which in a sense gave birth to the federal role in wildlife conservation, to the endangered species program, called as the most important wildlife conservation effort in the world. This publication is valuable to conservationists and individuals interested in federal and state wildlife management.

Download or read book Serengeti II written by A. R. E. Sinclair and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-08 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serengeti II: Dynamics, Management, and Conservation of an Ecosystem brings together twenty years of research by leading scientists to provide the most most thorough understanding to date of the spectacular Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in East Africa, home to one of the largest and most diverse populations of animals in the world. Building on the groundwork laid by the classic Serengeti: Dynamics of an Ecosystem, published in 1979 by the University of Chicago Press, this new book integrates studies of the ecosystem at every level—from the plants at the bottom of the visible food chain, to the many species of herbivores and predators, to the system as a whole. Drawing on new data from many long-term studies and from more recent research initiatives, and applying new theory and computer technology, the contributors examine the large-scale processes that have produced the Serengeti's extraordinary biological diversity, as well as the interactions among species and between plants and animals and their environment. They also introduce computer modeling as a tool for exploring these interactions, employing this new technology to test and anticipate the effects of social, political, and economic changes on the entire ecosystem and on particular species, and so to shape future conservation and management strategies.
