Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Phosphor-Dynamiken in Böden: Grundlagen, Konzepte
Book SynopsisDie vorliegende Studie zeigt, dass der Nährstoff Phosphor in Böden und Landschaften sehr ungleichmäßig verteilt ist. Dies wird auf seine unterirdische Verlagerung zurückgeführt. Die Ergebnisse von Christoph Weihrauch verdeutlichen damit, dass ein Umdenken bezüglich Phosphor in Böden nötig ist. Die Verlagerung dieses Nährstoffs hat vor allem Konsequenzen für die Düngung in der Landwirtschaft. Dort wird die ungleichmäßige Phosphor-Verbreitung bislang nicht in die Düngerplanung einbezogen, sodass Äcker teilweise über- bzw. unterversorgt werden. Dadurch wird viel Phosphor verschwendet, obwohl die notwendigen Rohstoffe bereits knapp werden. Noch in diesem Jahrhundert könnte daraus eine „Phosphor-Krise“ mit globalen Hungersnöten erwachsen. Diese Studie gibt Impulse dafür, wie Phosphor-Dünger ressourcenschonend, effizient und ohne Umweltbelastungen genutzt werden können. Damit leistet sie einen Beitrag dazu, die drohende „Phosphor-Krise“ abzuwenden.Table of ContentsDie gesellschaftliche Bedeutung des Phosphors.- Phosphor-Formen in Böden.- Effekte unterirdischer Verlagerungen auf die räumliche Phosphor-Verteilung.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Coastal Ecosystems of the Tropics - Adaptive Management
Book SynopsisThe coastal areas of the tropics are rich in biodiversity, natural resources and place of intensive developmental activities as it provides livelihood to millions of people. At the same time evidences suggest that several unique coastal ecosystems viz., mangroves, wetlands, salt marshes, corals, estuaries, sand dunes and agro-ecosystem are vulnerable to natural disasters and events associated with global climate change. In recent times degradation of land, water and genetic erosion besides threat to native flora and fauna have been increasing due to unsustainable developmental activities. Therefore, a paradigm shift in deriving livelihood through conventional methods, developmental strategies, conservation practices are required for balanced and sustainable growth of the coastal areas. This publication strives to cover the status of different natural resources of the coastal region, various aspects of degradation process, production need and restorative methods besides new technological options and its socio-economic implications with case examples. Special focus is given to bring out the scope and potential of mangrove based farming, integrated and organic farming and its value addition besides the role of coastal vegetations as bioshield in protecting these regions from sea erosion, cyclones and tsunami. As the tropical coastal areas are vulnerable to climate change events, this book also covers the recent weather pattern, impacts of climate change and climate resilient technologies besides intuitional linkages and policy framework aimed at balancing development and environmental concerns.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Ecosystem Restoration through Managing
Book SynopsisThis open access book is a compilation of case studies that provide useful knowledge and lessons that derive from on-the-ground activities and contribute to policy recommendations, focusing on the relevance of social-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) to ecosystem restoration. Building on the concept of SEPLS, the Satoyama Initiative promotes landscape approaches as integrative area-based strategies to bring together diverse stakeholders aiming to balance multiple objectives, including conservation and development, for the benefit of biodiversity and human well-being. Many of the SEPLS case studies from the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) offer rich evidence to help guide restoration efforts while advancing relevant knowledge and practices. The book highlights how the efforts in managing SEPLS can contribute to ecosystem restoration and sustainable development, looking at the strategies and approaches by which multiple stakeholders express, negotiate, and embrace their plural value perspectives of nature to restore ecosystems within a landscape or seascape. It begins with an introductory chapter followed by twelve case studies and a synthesis clarifying the relevance of the case study findings to policy and academic discussions. This book will be of interest to scholars, policymakers and professionals in the field related to sustainable development, especially on SDGs 15 and 17.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Ecological and
Book SynopsisEcological restoration is a rapidly evolving discipline that is engaged with developing both methodologies and strategies for repairing damaged and polluted ecosystems and environments. During the last decade the rapid pace of climate change coupled with continuing habitat destruction and the spread of non-native species to new habitats has forced restoration ecologists to re-evaluate their goals and the methods they use. This comprehensive handbook brings together an internationally respected group of established and rising experts in the field. The book begins with a description of current practices and the state of knowledge in particular areas of restoration, and then identifies new directions that will help the field achieve increasing levels of future success. Part I provides basic background about ecological and environmental restoration. Part II systematically reviews restoration in key ecosystem types located throughout the world. In Part III, management and policy iTrade Review"Allison and Murphy have done a great job in bringing together contributions from both leaders in the field and the next generation, and the geographic spread of authors is reflective of the global need for restoration... Excellent, and highly recommended for any library serving an ecological readership." - British Ecological Society Bulletin (December 2017)"... Allison and Murphy’s book is aimed at 'surveying current practice and identifying future opportunities and problems that will arise in our rapidly changing world.'The book delivers what it proposed to do. It is a substantial volume [...] and it is quite diverse in the topics. Thus, it gives a broad overview of the issues and approaches that are defining the current practice of ecological restoration. The list of topics is by no means exhaustive, but it is diverse enough to have something for everyone." - Carolina Murcia, Universidad Javeriana-Seccional Cali, Columbia and University of Florida, USA in Restoration Ecology (Vol. 26, No. 3, pp. 600-601), May 2018 Table of Contents1.
