Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems
By: Koch, George W.; Roy, Jacques
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
The importance of carbon dioxide extends from cellular to global levels of organization and potential ecological deterioration may be the result of increased CO2 in our atmosphere. Recently, the research emphasis shifted from studies of photosynthesis pathways and plant growth to ground-breaking studies of carbon dioxide balances in ecosystems, regions, and even the entire globe. Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems addresses these new areas of research. Economically important woody ecosystems are emphasized because they have substantial influence on global carbon dioxide balances. Herbaceous ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, prairies, wetlands) and crop ecosystems are also covered. The interactions among organisms, communities, and ecosystems are modeled, and the book closes with an important synthesis of this growing nexus of research. Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems is a compilation of detailed scientific studies that reveal how ecosystems generally, and particular plants specifically, respond to changed levels of carbon dioxide.

Carbon Dioxide, Populations, and Communities
By: Bazzaz, Fakhri A.; Korner, Christian
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
In past decades and in association with a continuing global industrial development, the global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has been rising. Among the many predictions made concerning this disturbing trend is global warming sufficient to melt polar ice-caps thereby dramatically altering existing shorelines. This book will help fill an obvious gap in the carbon dioxide debate by substituting date for speculation.

Chaos in Ecology
By: Cushing, J. M.; Costantino, Robert F.; Dennis, Brian
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
It is impossible to predict the exact behavior of all biological systems and how these same systems are exemplified by patterns of complexity and regularity. Decades of research in ecology have documented how these sorts of patterns are the consequences of deceptively simple rules that determine the nature of the patterns created. Chaos in Ecology will explain how simple beginnings result in complicated results. Chaos in Ecology is the inaugural volume of Theoretical Ecology Series. The authors of this volume have employed data from a proven model system in population dynamics. As a result, this book will be of interest to anyone interested in the ecology of populations.

Checklist for Sustainable Landscape Management
By: Mansvelt, J.D. van; Lubbe, M.J. van der
Published by: Elsevier Science
This work is an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, widely-calibrated checklist for EU sustainable landscape management, which is intended to serve both as an analytical tool of reference as well as a design tool for local, regional and European policy making on sustainable developments. The tool has been developed out of a multidisciplinary study in EU countries which was designed to find out what would be the overall requirements for a sustainable management of the landscape of rural areas. Could these stipulations be brought together in a comprehensive system with sufficient consistency to comply with the notion that the landscape is an entity, which should be managed accordingly? Cooperation of the scientific experts with those involved in the practical side, and alternating plenary reporting with subgroup visits to farms in the rural landscapes of the participants' countries, allowed for the development of some truly interdisciplinary teamwork. Organic agriculture has been included to find out how organic agriculture contributes to the rural landscape.

Community Ecotoxicology
By: Clements, William H.; Newman, Michael C.
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (UK)
Communities comprise overlapping populations that interact in time and space. Ecological effects of contaminants may occur at several levels of biological organisation, from individuals to the entire biosphere. Because the impact of contaminants on one population will influence other species within the community, accurate predictions and assessments can be made only by considering the entire system. This is the first book dedicated to community ecotoxicology - the study of the effects of contaminants and other stressors on species abundance, diversity and interactions.
