Drylands in East Asia (DEA) are home to more than one billion people with an environment vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic changes. One of the critical needs in the region is to fully understand how dryland ecosystems respond to the changing climate and human activities in order to develop strategies to cope with continued climate change. This book provides state-of-the-art knowledge and information on drylands ecosystem dynamics, changing climate, society, and land use in the region. In addition to the synthesis of the existing research and knowledge of DEA, the book provides a role model for regional ecological assessment. With a wide spectrum of contributions from experts around the globe, the book should be of interest to researchers and students both internationally and in East Asia. Lessons learned from this synthesis effort in DEA should be useful for developing climate adaptation strategies for other similar regions around the globe.

Sustainable Bioenergy Production - An Integrated Approach (Hardcover, 2013 ed.): Hans Ruppert, Martin Kappas, Jens Ibendorf Sustainable Bioenergy Production - An Integrated Approach (Hardcover, 2013 ed.)

R5,221 Discovery Miles 52 210 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book focuses primarily on the advantages and implications of sustainable bioenergy production in terms of ensuring a more sustainable world despite its growing energy demands. It addresses a new concept that focuses on the interactions between different uses of agricultural land (for example, agriculture for food, forage or energy and nature conservation) and their ecological, economic and societal impacts. This research concept provides new insights into the competition for resources and the synergies between different land uses. This book seeks to improve people's understanding of bioenergy's potentials for the future. It will be of interest not only to those involved in sustainable energy, but also to environmental planners, agriculture and soil specialists, and environmental policy-makers.

Die Klimatologie ist in den letzten Jahren zu einer globalen a žSystemwissenschafta oe des Klimasystems bzw. des Erdsystems als Ganzes geworden und stellt heute eine hoch interdisziplinAre und extrem problemgetriebene a žMega-Sciencea oe dar. Dieses neue Lehrbuch greift diese Entwicklung auf. Es besteht aus drei gleichmAAig gewichteten Kernbereichen a " Teil I: Basiswissen Klimatologie, Teil II: Klimawandel / Global Change, Teil III: Klima und Politik / Gesellschaft a " und zielt auf die Vermittlung der ZusammenhAnge von Klimafaktoren a " Klimawandel a " Gesellschaft a " Politik ab.

Anders als bisherige LehrbA1/4cher der Klimatologie geht es sehr ausfA1/4hrlich auf das hochaktuelle Themenfeld a žGlobal Changea oe ein und verdeutlicht die gesellschaftliche Relevanz der Klimaforschung. In dem es einen klaren Zusammenhang zwischen den a žnatA1/4rlichena oe Grundlagen a " klassische Klimatologie, Global Change a " und den Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaften der Erde herstellt, geht es A1/4ber die eigentliche Kernklientel eines Lehrbuchs fA1/4r Klimatologen/Meteorologen hinaus und spricht einen sehr breiten Leserkreis an. Insofern ist das Buch auf dem deutschen Markt ein Novum.

The water resources of the Selenga River/Lake Baikal system are of fundamental importance for the ecosystems and socio-economic development of the region. In this large-scale river and lake basin, there are strong contrasts between regions of relatively pristine nature and massive anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Climate change effects are more pronounced than in most other parts of the earth, and the transition from socialism into a more market-oriented economy has led to a boom in mining but also to a partial collapse of environmental monitoring and urban waste water management systems. Moreover, the expansion of agriculture and mining has triggered a considerable land cover change, rising water consumption, and the release of contaminants that had previously been unknown to the region. The consequences for the water resources and the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems depending on them have become increasingly visible in recent years. This book, which is based on contributions to the 2014 "Bringing Together Selenga-Baikal Research Conference", provides a multidisciplinary insight into current water-related challenges and strategies for their solution from the viewpoint of the international scientific community.

Klimaforschung – Einführung in eine „Mega-Science" Die zweite Auflage des Lehrbuchs zur Einführung in die Klimatologie greift die Entwicklung als globale "Erd-Systemwissenschaft" auf. Sie ist hoch interdisziplinär, extrem problemgetrieben und zunehmend in internationale Zusammenhänge eingebettet. Naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen verbinden sich hier mit gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen und Grundlagenforschung mit politischen Rahmensetzungen. Das Werk besteht aus drei miteinander vernetzten Teilen: I: Klimatologie als Wissenschaft II: Klimawandel und Global Change III: Wechselwirkungen: Klima – Mensch, Gesellschaft und Politik Dieses Buch liefert neue Einsichten zu Zusammenhängen im Bereich Erdsystemforschung und stellt das Konzept des „Anthropozäns“ vor, welches die Anerkennung einer radikal veränderten Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung in den Vordergrund gerückt hat. Der Fokus der Neuauflage liegt auf den Verbindungen zwischen verschiedenen sozialen und ökologischen Prozessen und greift dabei auf die aktuellen Reports des IPCC zurück. Es ermöglicht Lesern Wissen über die ökologischen und menschlichen Aspekte des globalen Wandels aufzubauen und Lösungen für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung zu finden. Anders als bisherige Lehrbücher der Klimatologie geht das Werk sehr ausführlich auf das hoch aktuelle Themenfeld "Global Change" ein und verdeutlicht die gesellschaftliche Relevanz der Klimaforschung. Zahlreiche Abbildungen zeigen komplexe Klimaphänomene, aber auch internationale Forschungsnetzwerke und politische Strukturen auf. Dieses Buch sticht durch seinen interdisziplinären Ansatz hervor und wird insbesondere Forscher ansprechen, die sich für Themen im Bereich Globaler Umweltwandel interessieren. Es eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die Zusammenhänge von Klima, Ozean, Waldbedeckung und Landnutzung sowie die Veränderung dieser Bereiche im Erdsystem. Leser gewinnen einen Überblick über die komplexen Forschungsstrukturen (Future Earth) und das Weltklimaprogramm.
