Wetlands provide a key service in an ecosystem such as providing
resilience against drought and diverse habitats that support
biodiversity. Because of their ephemeral character and their small
size, however, these vulnerable ecosystems are declining rapidly as
climate change continues to surge and human activities expand.
Rational management of wet ecosystems need accompanying actions
covering research, systematic observation, and more. Wetland
Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services, and the Impact of Climate Change
produces innovative concepts, methodologies, tools, and
applications for ecosystem service valuation, wetland biodiversity
conservation, fresh water supply, agricultural production, food
security, wetland management, and its impact on biodiversity. It
assesses the cumulative risk posed to wetland habitats and species
by human activities and explores the consequences for the delivery
of ecosystem services and biodiversity at local, regional, and
global scales, as well as the impacts of climate change on wetland
ecosystems and water resources. Covering topics such as
geochemistry, invasive species, and sedimentary change, this
premier reference source is an indispensable resource for
government officials, engineers, environmental managers,
environmentalists, students and educators of higher education,
researchers, and academicians.
Climate change and environmental pollution remain two primary areas
of concern in today's world. These detrimental influences continue
to have a strong impact on various aspects of humanity,
specifically public health in tropical regions. Researchers have
seen neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affected by climate change
and anthropogenic impacts. Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts
on Neglected Tropical Diseases is a pivotal reference source that
provides vital research on the association of environmental
pollutants and global warming with viruses in tropical regions.
While highlighting topics such as pathogenicity, travel impact, and
economic impacts, this publication explores the developments and
trends in these areas of medicine and ecology, as well as
prevention strategies to be used for educational and sensitization
purposes. This book is ideally designed for doctors, medical
practitioners, ecologists, epidemiologists, environmentalists,
world health organizations, researchers, biologists, policymakers,
academicians, and students.
Due to the increasing trend of international interest in education
for climate change and the environment, there has been an increase
of research in the area. There is a current question on what the
best methods and tools are for integrating climate change education
and sustainability into school programs. These educational methods
can create the development of effective responses, attitudes, and
behaviors to adapt to climate change. Empirical and conceptual
models must be explored to help those interested in learning and
teaching environmental education and climate change and adding it
to modern school curriculum. The Handbook of Research on
Environmental Education Strategies for Addressing Climate Change
and Sustainability produces innovative approaches, methods, and
ideas in education for climate change, environment strategies, and
sustainability along with the development of curriculum and
strategies for sustainable development goals. The chapters
encompass multiple disciplines such as geology, geography, remote
sensing, geographic information systems, environmental science, and
environmental engineering. This book is ideal for in-service and
preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators,
practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and
students interested in educational strategies and curriculum for
climate change and sustainability.
