Ackerlandschaften
By: Hampicke, Ulrich (ed.); Litterski, Birgit (ed.); Wichtmann, Wendelin (ed.)
Published by: Springer
In weiten Gebieten Mitteleuropas ist Ackerbau auf ertragsschwachen Standorten nur mit ffentlicher Frderung kostendeckend. Diese ist fr die nhere Zukunft gesichert, langfristig aber ungewiss. Eine groflchige Aufgabe des Ackerbaus wre aus zahlreichen Grnden problematisch. Ausgehend von einer historischen Betrachtung untersucht dieses Buch Perspektiven eines extensiven, multifunktionellen Ackerbaus, der Naturschutz und Erholungseignung in sein Zielbndel integriert. Anbautechnik, Fruchtfolgen sowie Wirkungen auf Bodenfruchtbarkeit, Wasserhaushalt und Artenvielfalt werden vorgestellt. Detailliert ermittelt werden sodann die gesellschaftlichen Kosten dieses Landnutzungssystems, die sich im Vergleich mit anderen als gering erweisen. Der Erholungswert wird mittels Zahlungsbereitschaftsanalysen erhoben. Die Gegenberstellung von Kosten und Nutzen, die Akzeptanz von Seiten der Landwirtschaft sowie weitere wichtige Aspekte sprechen dafr, dem extensiven Ackerbau einen Platz im Spektrum knftiger Landnutzungen einzurumen.

The Atlantic Salmon
By: Verspoor, Eric (ed.); Stradmeyer, Lee (ed.); Nielsen, Jennifer (ed.)
Published by: Wiley-Blackwell
Atlantic Salmon is a cultural icon throughout its North Atlantic range; it is the focus of probably the World’s highest profile recreational fishery and is the basis for one of the World’s largest aquaculture industries. Despite this, many wild stocks of salmon are in decline and underpinning this is a dearth of information on the nature and extent of population structuring and adaptive population differentiation, and its implications for species conservation. This important new book will go a long way to rectify this situation by providing a thorough review of the genetics of Atlantic salmon. Sponsored by the European Union and the Atlantic Salmon Trust, this book comprises the work of an international team of scientists, carefully integrated and edited to provide a landmark book of vital interest to all those working with Atlantic salmon.
