Anthropogenic influences to the earth's system, including the
atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and lithosphere,
represent a serious challenge to our planet's ecosystems and
natural environments. Bioclimatology, hydrology, bio-hydrology and
eco-physiology are important scientific research areas with wide
application to environmental protection, forestry, agriculture and
water management, and protection against natural hazards including
droughts, floods, windstorms, weather extremes, and wild fires.
Bioclimatology helps to better understand the causes and impacts of
natural hazards and how to prevent them. Improved knowledge of
natural hazards is a vital prerequisite for the implementation of
integrated resource management. It provides a useful framework for
combating current climate variability and for adapting to ongoing
climate change.
This book presents research on the interactions between
meteorological, climatological, hydrological and biological
processes in the atmospheric and terrestrial environment. It
highlights a spectrum of topics associated with climate change and
weather extremes and their impact on different economic sectors.
The contributing authors come from renowned scientific research
institutions and universities and specialise in issues of climate
change, soil-plant-atmosphere interactions, hydrologic cycle,
ecosystems, biosphere, and natural hazards.
