Many mushrooms - or the 'fruits of fungi' - are extremely valuable,
wild-gathered products which are utilised for both their medicinal
properties and as food. In many of the world's tropical and
temperate forests, they are the primary source of income for the
people who live there. These forests range from temperate woodlands
and small forests to high altitude forests in the Himalaya and
tropical miombo woodlands in south-central Africa. In south-west
China, over 200 species of wild fungi in 64 genera are commercially
traded while in Europe and North America, woodlands and small
forests are the source of many highly-prized mushrooms and an
essential resource for many small enterprises and collectors. Yet
the increased demand for timber has resulted in the rapid expansion
of forestry, which in turn has destroyed the natural habitat of
many fungi, unbalancing both forest economics and ecology. Despite
the economic, social and cultural values of fungi, there is a
general lack of understanding of their importance to local
livelihoods and forest ecology. This book aims to fill this gap and
extends the People and Plants Conservation Series beyond the plant
kingdom into the related world of fungi and mushrooms. It
demonstrates the crucial roles that fungi play in maintaining
forest ecosystems and the livelihoods of rural people throughout
the world while providing good practice guidelines for the
sustainable management of this resource and an assessment of
economic value. It brings together the perspectives of biologists,
anthropologists and forest and woodland managers to provide a
unique inter-disciplinary and international overview of the key
issues.
This book includes the original, peer-reviewed research papers from
the 9th Frontier Academic Forum of Electrical Engineering (FAFEE
2020), held in Xi'an, China, in August 2020. It gathers the latest
research, innovations, and applications in the fields of Electrical
Engineering. The topics it covers including electrical materials
and equipment, electrical energy storage and device, power
electronics and drives, new energy electric power system equipment,
IntelliSense and intelligent equipment, biological electromagnetism
and its applications, and insulation and discharge computation for
power equipment. Given its scope, the book benefits all
researchers, engineers, and graduate students who want to learn
about cutting-edge advances in Electrical Engineering.

This book is devoted to the technology and methodology of
individual travel behavior analysis and refined travel information
extraction. Traditional resident trip surveys are characterized by
many shortcomings, such as subjective memory errors, difficulty in
organization and high cost. Therefore, in this book, a set of
refined extraction and analysis techniques for individual travel
activities is proposed. It provides a solid foundation for the
optimization and reconstruction of traffic theoretical models,
urban traffic planning, management and decision-making. This book
helps traffic engineering researchers, traffic engineering
technicians and traffic industry managers understand the
difficulties and challenges faced by transportation big data.
Additionally, it helps them adapt to changes in traffic demand and
the technological environment to achieve theoretical innovation and
technological reform.
This detailed volume explores a wide range of evidence-based
complementary medicine and various bio-analytical techniques used
to define botanical products. Collecting recent work and current
developments in the field of contemporary phytomedicine as well as
their future possibilities in human health care, the book includes
unique contributions in the form of chapters on phytomedicine and
screening biological activities explained with diverse hyphenated
techniques, as well as issues related to herbal medications, such
as efficacy, adulteration, safety, toxicity, regulations, and drug
delivery. Written for the Springer Protocols Handbooks series,
chapters feature advice from experts on how to best conduct future
experiments. Extensive and practical, Natural Product Experiments
in Drug Discovery serves as an ideal reference for students,
professors, and researchers in universities, R&D institutes,
pharmaceutical and herbal enterprises, and health organizations.
