Oceans in Decline
Author: Sergio Rossi
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030025144
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
What is happening in our oceans? By describing their main elements, this book shows how and why the oceans are being transformed, and suggests possible future scenarios to address this complex, yet often-asked, question. The ocean is being dramatically transformed, but the magnitude of this transformation remains unclear since the ocean is largely inaccessible and still unknown: there is more information about the outer universe than about the deepest parts of our oceans. The author, a marine biologist with extensive research experience, offers a holistic view of our oceans. Focusing on fishing, pollution and the effects of climate change, he identifies and describes the changes occurring in all marine ecosystems, and discusses the long-passed state of equilibrium.

The West Coast
Species Conservation in Managed Habitats
Author: Werner Kunz
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527338454
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Dieses Praktikerbuch stammt von einem Autor mit langjähriger Erfahrung im Bereich der Ökologie von Insekten und Vögeln und einer herausragenden akademischen Laufbahn in den molekularen Biowissenschaften. Es ist eine willkommene Herausforderung und stellt die weitverbreiteten Ansichten herkömmlicher Umweltpolitik in Frage. Werner Kunz erläutert überzeugend, warum die Aufrechterhaltung einer großen Biodiversität in Europe ganz erheblich von offenen Flächen und karger Vegetation abhängig ist, d. h. Flächen, die weder intensiv nach Aspekten der modernen Landwirtschaft bewirtschaftet noch wieder aufgeforstet werden. Er stellt die weitverbreitete Meinung in Frage, dass Naturschutz mit Artenschutz gleichzusetzen sei, und zeigt, wie bedrohte Tierarten durch ein technisches Design des Lebensraums gerettet werden können. Ein Muss für Umweltbehörden, politische Entscheidungsträger, Ökologen und alle, die Zeuge davon sind, wie aktuell in Zentraleuropa Arten verschwinden.

Birdlife of Houston, Galveston, and the Upper Texas Coast
Author: Ted Eubanks
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1603445307
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
In the last thirty years, the Upper Texas Coast has become a "must go" destination for birders around the globe. This book will serve as an essential companion to the customary field guide and pair of binoculars for all visitors to Houston, High Island, Galveston, Freeport, or any of the area's other exciting birding spots. It also places the birdlife of the region, a seven-county area with a larger bird list than forty-three states, into historical and ecological contexts. Authors Eubanks, Behrstock, and Weeks--all recognized authorities on the migrant and resident birds of this region--present a thorough introduction to the area's history, physiography, and avifauna. Then, in generous discussions of bird families and species, they synthesize years of records, tracking the comings and goings of more than 480 birds and incorporating their own lifetimes of experience to create an "ornithological mosaic" of lasting significance.
