Описание: This book discusses the complexity of the interacting abiotic and biotic environment of wetlands across different spatial and temporal scales. It reveals how management based on poor knowledge causes more damage than repair.
Описание: Drawing on six case studies of wolf, grizzly bear, and mountain lion conservation in habitats stretching from the Yukon to Arizona, this book argues that conserving and coexisting with large carnivores is as much a problem of people and governance.

Описание: Carnivores have always fascinated us, even though they make up only 10% of all mammalian genera and only about 2% of all mammalian biomass. " The sheer presence and power of carnivores is daunt- ing: they can move quickly yet silently through forests, attaining rapid bursts of speed when necessary;

Описание: An ordered and scientific study of the ecology of all African carnivores larger than jackals. Numerous colour photographs taken by both authors, and excellent sketches by the internationally renowned wildlife artist Clive Walker, depict the life and habitat of these carnivores.

Описание: Eeonomie plants range from those that are eommercially utilised by the industrial nations of the world to those that safeguard the survival of hunter-gatherer aboriginal eommunities. In a world of inereasing human and livestock populations, land and environment degradation, species loss and climatic change, it is becoming inerea- singly important to work for the sustainable management of the world's natural resourees. This is especially important for the arid and semi-arid regions where any abuse of the harsh environment is unforgiving. Plant resourees are especially important sinee they proteet the environment, provide habitats for both flora and fauna, and direetly or indireetly provide the resourees for man's survival. An understanding of how plants are adapted to survive is an essential tool for the better management of the environment. Sinee there are over 20000 useful plants in the arid and sem i-arid regions of the world, of which only a relative few have been even partially investigated, the writer makes no apologies for whieh plants have been included or ignored. All the plants mentioned in the introductory ehap- ters marked with an asterisk are diseussed more fully in Chapter 11.

Описание: Focusing on the arid regions of Africa, but making reference to other areas where applicable, this work discusses the ecology of carnivores in arid lands. Emphasis is placed on the canids, felids and hyaenids. Behavioural, physiological and morphological, and ecological adaptations are covered.

Описание: With detailed data from nine sites around the world, the authors examine how the so-called `fragmentation` of these fragile landscapes occurs and the consequences of this break-up for ecosystems and the people who depend on them.
Описание: The need to conserve declining water resources which has become apparent over the last few decades has led several investigators to conclude that plants with a high rate of transpiration endanger water resources, and the growth of such plants must not be encouraged.
Описание: Based on field-tested techniques and incorporating a wealth of empirical data, this publication covers both design and project management aspects of afforestation and reforestation. The work is applicable to a range of environments including urban settings.
