Nano-enabled Sustainable and Precision Agriculture is the first
single-volume resource to cover this important field using a whole
systems approach that considers both opportunities and challenges.
The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of
nanotechnology in agriculture from broad aspects, but also includes
a comprehensive view of the interaction of nanomaterials with
soil-plant systems. It highlights aspects not described in previous
books, including the application of nanoinformatics and artificial
intelligence in nano-enabled sustainable agriculture, the
application of nanotechnology in alternative forms of agriculture
such as hydroponics, and regulatory frameworks for this research
field. The book addresses all these aspects by including sections
on enhanced sustainability, reduced pollution and enhanced
ecosystems' health, and the role of nanoinformatics and machine
learning.
Fish have evolved to colonise almost every type of aquatic habitat
and today they are a hugely diverse group of over 25,000 species.
The evolution of this great diversity of species has resulted in a
myriad of solutions to the demands posed by the aquatic
environment.
Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Fish presents a current
and comprehensive overview of fish physiology to demonstrate how
living fish function in their environment. As with other books in
the Series, the emphasis is on the unique physiological
characteristics of the fish, but with applications to questions of
broad relevance in physiological ecology. A preliminary chapter
introduces the aquatic environment and gives a general description
of fish biology, evolution, and taxonomy. Subsequent sections
discuss the particular problems of living in water, life in extreme
environments, techniques for studying fish ecophysiology, and
future research directions.
