Título : Ecology of Climate Change : The Importance of Biotic Interactions Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Post, Eric Número de páginas: 1 online resource(408p.) Il.: illustrations ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4008-4613-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: Bioclimatology Climatic changes NATURE Ecology Ecosystems & Habitats Wilderness SCIENCE Earth Sciences Meteorology & Climatology Environmental Science Life Sciences Biology Biowissenschaften, Biologie Natural Sciences Clasificación: 577.2/2 Resumen: Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse. Critical reasoning, supported through academic research is needed. As a result, De Gruyter, along with its partner presses, is making freely available books and journal articles across nine topical areas for all students and faculty. Broadening access to this scholarship enables more people to address these issues in an informed manner: it helps us combat false news sources, to consider the nature of truth and ethics, and to understand the struggles of all members of society
Rising temperatures are affecting organisms in all of Earth's biomes, but the complexity of ecological responses to climate change has hampered the development of a conceptually unified treatment of them. In a remarkably comprehensive synthesis, this book presents past, ongoing, and future ecological responses to climate change in the context of two simplifying hypotheses, facilitation and interference, arguing that biotic interactions may be the primary driver of ecological responses to climate change across all levels of biological organization. Eric Post's synthesis and analyses of ecological consequences of climate change extend from the Late Pleistocene to the present, and through the next century of projected warming. His investigation is grounded in classic themes of enduring interest in ecology, but developed around novel conceptual and mathematical models of observed and predicted dynamics. Using stability theory as a recurring theme, Post argues that the magnitude of climatic variability may be just as important as the magnitude and direction of change in determining whether populations, communities, and species persist. He urges a more refined consideration of species interactions, emphasizing important distinctions between lateral and vertical interactions and their disparate roles in shaping responses of populations, communities, and ecosystems to climate changeEn línea: https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400846139 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31349 Ecology of Climate Change : The Importance of Biotic Interactions [texto impreso] / Post, Eric . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource(408p.) : illustrations.

Título : Surveying Natural Populations : Quantitative Tools for Assessing Biodiversity Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Hayek, Lee-Ann C., ; Buzas, Martin A., Número de páginas: 1 online resource (616 pages) Il.: illustrations ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-231-53496-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: Paleoecology Statistical methods Population biology SCIENCE Biology Biowissenschaften, Biologie Ecology Natural Sciences Clasificación: 577.8/80727 Resumen: Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse.

Surveying Natural Populations is a user-friendly primer to the essential methodologies of quantitative field ecology or paleoecology. Combining the intuitive methods of the field researcher with the mathematical precision of the statistician, the volume determines, through real biodiversity and ecological examples, the necessary measures for a complete community assessment while clarifying the confusions between biological and statistical terminology. Focusing on underlying mathematical concepts, it describes how to complete incrementally a quantitative sampling of any recent or fossil population. The first half of Surveying Natural Populations explains the fundamentals of ecological assessment. Employing a single data set throughout, initial chapters navigate such topics as estimating densities, relative abundance, occurrences, the determination of adequate sample sizes and field sampling schemes. The second half covers the newest advances in biodiversity measurement. Through the use of information mathematics and decomposition, the authors mathematically examine the relationship among a number of proposed diversity indices and discard inappropriate measures. What remains is a simple, all-encompassing system called SHE analysis, in which species density, richness, information, and evenness are all shown to be related explicitly. This biodiversity data is then integrated into a simple graphic, a plot called a biodiversitygram, which provides the researcher with a cohesive descriptive and inferential tool to assess any community's biodiversityEn línea: https://doi.org/10.7312/haye14620 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31671 Surveying Natural Populations : Quantitative Tools for Assessing Biodiversity [texto impreso] / Hayek, Lee-Ann C., ; Buzas, Martin A., . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource (616 pages) : illustrations.

This comprehensive collection of provocative papers provides a scientific foundation for justifying the use of and a solid framework for examining the ambiguities inherent in emulating natural forest landscape disturbance. Contributors range from policymakers and forestry professionals to academics and conservationists, offering a balanced view of the promises and challenges of the forest management paradigm in sustaining forest landscapes
This comprehensive collection of provocative papers provides a scientific foundation for justifying the use of and a solid framework for examining the ambiguities inherent in emulating natural forest landscape disturbance. Contributors range from policymakers and forestry professionals to academics and conservationists, offering a balanced view of the promises and challenges of the forest management paradigm in sustaining forest landscapes.The book opens with an overview of foundational concepts, a detailed discussion of emerging forest management paradigms and their global context, and an examination of the ecological premise for emulating natural disturbance. This section also explores the current understanding of natural disturbance regimes, including the two most prevalent in North America: fire and insects. The volume then uses several geographically diverse case studies to address the characterization of natural disturbances and the development of applied templates for their emulation through forest management. The emphasis on fire regimes reflects the greater focus that has traditionally been placed on understanding and managing fire, compared with other forms of disturbance, and utilizes several viewpoints to address the lessons learned from historical disturbance patterns. Reflecting current developments in the field, immediate challenges, and potential directions, this collection concludes with a penetrating look at practical applications, exploring the expectations for and feasibility of emulating natural disturbance through forest managementEn línea: https://doi.org/10.7312/pere12916 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31364 Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances : Concepts and Applications [texto impreso] / Buse, Lisa J ; Perera, Ajith H ; Weber, Michael G . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource : 101 illus.
