Book Description
Hace algo más de una década se reguló de manera específica la protección del medio marino, incorporando el enfoque ecosistémico, gracias a la aprobación de la Ley 41/2010, de 29 de diciembre, de protección del medio marino. Con esta obra se analiza la evolución de este enfoque holístico en el mar y en sus diferentes áreas interconectadas, en aras de poder mejorar la eficacia normativa y, por ende, el medio marino. En concreto, de manera interdisciplinar, se recogen los avances y retos en la ordenación marítima, la gobernanza marina, la economía azul, la biodiversidad marina, la contaminación del medio marino, el cambio climático y los mecanismos de adaptación en la costa.

The North American Mosaic
Author: Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Connectivity Conservation
Author: Kevin R. Crooks
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 113946020X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 675
Book Description
One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.

Restoration Ecology
Author: William R. Jordan
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521337281
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Although interest in ecological restoration has grown rapidly in recent years, restoration efforts have been highly empirical and have therefore been of only marginal interest to theoretical ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The ability to reassemble a community or ecosystem and to make it function properly actually represents a critical test of ecological understanding in the most fundamental sense. It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.
