Regardless of the word "balance" being used either globally or
locally in any given context, it is undoubtedly the keyword in the
increasing number of environmental problems. The underlined sketch
is a proper introduction to the question: Why are the environmental
problems being focused on now? One particular answer can be found
in a hierarchy of the main scientific problems for the 21st century
as seen by the community mostly consisting of physicists and
biologists. According to them, in the 21st century the world of
scientific community will be occupied by the problems linked to
superconductivity, quantum teleology, modelling living structures
and environmental problems that are primarily expressed through the
problem of climate changes. A unique characteristic of these
problems is their close connection with the questions of different
aspects of the existence of individual human being, i.e., the
questions of technological capability, origin of the consciousness
and survival on the Earth. Based on own experience and knowledge of
scientists, accumulated from their recent environmentally oriented
projects, this book covers, for the first time, the complex field
of fundamental scientific methodologies, modelling and measurements
in environmental and linking sciences. The first part of the book
comprises the following points: modelling transverse turbulent
mixing in a shallow flow, new approaches in modelling of natural
complex systems, modelling of forest-atmosphere interaction,
modelling of the advection term in the equations of motion,
dynamics of coupled interactions of natural complex systems,
calculation of albedo over heterogeneous environmental interfaces
and regional climate modelling. In the second part are considered
vertical mixing schemes for chemical transport models, locating the
source of air pollution using inverse modelling techniques,
aggregating the albedo in mountain regions, deposition of heavy
metals by moss biomonitoring technique, spectral UV radiation
measurement and modelling, measurements of atmospheric ammonia over
grassland and measurements evaporation over short vegetation. The
third part is devoted to climate change impacts and adaptation
options of vulnerable agriculture in different aspects, prediction
of plant diseases appearance as well as spatial climatic analogy
and adaptive knowledge transfer.
