Invasive Alien Species
Author: Harold A. Mooney
Publisher: Shearwater Books
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Invasive alien species are among today's most daunting environmental threats, costing billions of dollars in economic damages and wreaking havoc on ecosystems around the world. In 1997, a consortium of scientific organizations including SCOPE, IUCN, and CABI developed the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) with the explicit objective of providing new tools for understanding and coping with invasive alien species. Invasive Alien Species is the final report of GISP's first phase of operation, 1997-2000, in which authorities from more than thirty countries worked to examine invasions as a worldwide environmental hazard. The book brings together the world's leading scientists and researchers involved with invasive alien species to offer a comprehensive summary and synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the subject. Invasive alien species represent a critical threat to natural ecosystems and native biodiversity, as well as to human economic vitality and health. The knowledge gained to date in understanding and combating invasive alien species can form a useful basis on which to build strategies for controlling or minimizing the effects in the future. Invasive Alien Species is an essential reference for the international community of investigators concerned with biological invasions.

Permafrost Ecosystems
Author: Akira Osawa
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402096933
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
Drawing from a decade-long collaboration between Japan and Russia, this important volume presents the first major synthesis of current knowledge on the ecophysiology of the coniferous forests growing on permafrost at high latitudes. It presents ecological data for a region long inaccessible to most scientists, and raises important questions about the global carbon balance as these systems are affected by the changing climate. Making up around 20% of the entire boreal forests of the northern hemisphere, these ‘permafrost forest ecosystems’ are subject to particular constraints in terms of temperature, nutrient availability, and root space, creating exceptional ecosystem characteristics not known elsewhere. This authoritative text explores their diversity, structure, dynamics and physiology. It provides a comparison of these forests in relation to boreal forests elsewhere, and concludes with an assessment of the potential responses of this unique biome to climate change. The book will be invaluable to advanced students and researchers interested in boreal vegetation, forest ecology, silviculture and forest soils, as well as to researchers into climate change and the global carbon balance.

Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
Nonnative plant invaders are causing millions of dollars worth of damage to our natural, managed, and agricultural ecosystems, and their effects can be long-lasting. This fact book is intended to raise awareness of the destruction and economic losses caused by invasive plants in the U.S. Sections include: understanding the problems; plant invasions -- impacts, status, and trends: croplands, yards and gardens, rights-of-way, rangelands and pastures, forests, deserts, wetlands and waterways, Florida, Hawaii, natural areas, parks and refuges, private reserves, wildlife, plant communities, and biodiversity, recreational areas, and human and animal health.
