Developing Strategies For Rangeland Management
Author: Mary Koppal
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 042970531X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 2044
Book Description
In a two-year study, the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on Developing Strategies for Rangeland Management examined at length the scientific, political, economic, legal, and social issues arising from the BLM's stewardship role. This book, reporting the findings and recommendations of the NAS committee, contains over eighty professional papers presented at workshops designed to assess forage allocation, inventory of rangeland resources, impact of grazing intensity and specialized grazing systems on the use and value of rangeland, manipulative range improvements, application of socioeconomic techniques to range management decision making, and political and legal aspects of range management.

Northern Australia
Author: Don Parkes
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483277372
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Northern Australia: The Arenas of Life and Ecosystems on Half a Continent provides a geographical study of the interplay of environmental challenge and human endeavor in the vast arena of Northern Australia. This book is organized into three parts. Part A presents the contextual setting for Parts B and C. It includes a historical geographer's perspective on the ecological impact of 200 years of European settlement; a description of the use of satellite imagery; and discussion of some of the interactions among natural subsystems as they impinge on human activities (especially in the extensive rangelands). Part B discusses some of the human ecosystems which extend over a very large geographical territory. In these ecosystems the human population is small in terms of absolute number and relative to the population of other living things. These include the tropical marine ecosystems and their growing utilization for mariculture; and rangeland ecosytems dominated by cattle and the overlapping semi-arid grasslands. Part C discusses intensive ecosystems, where the human population is dominant in number.

State-of-the-art Waste Heat Utilization for Agriculture and Aquaculture
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
A state-of-the-art assessment of research, demonstration, and commercial projects that involve the use of power plant condenser cooling water for agricultural and aquacultural purposes was conducted. Information was obtained from published literature, site visits, and communications with knowledgeable individuals. Thermal effluent uses were discussed for controlled environment greenhouses, biological recycling of nutrients from livestock manures, soil heating and irrigation, environmental control for livestock housing, grain drying, food processing, as well as the culture of numerous aquatic organisms. A large number of research and feasibility studies have been conducted, but few commercial enterprises are utilizing thermal effluent. Interfacing problems, environmental and legal restrictions, along with insufficient technology, have not allowed widespread commercial application. Specific research needs were discussed.
