Invasive Plant Species of the World, 2nd Edition
Author: Ewald WeberPublisher: CABI
ISBN: 1780643861
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 597
Book Description
Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2003, the status of many important invasive plants around the world has changed dramatically. Species have extended their ranges, new literature has been accumulated, and control methods have been improved. Research on some plant invaders has also focused on the species' ecology and impacts, confirming that invasive plants continue to pose serious threats to species and ecosystems. Given their range expansions and introduction via international trade, these problems will only become more serious in the future. Including colour images of each species, this up-to-date reference guide on the most important plant invaders is an invaluable tool for both researchers and policy makers.

Biosecurity
Author: Andrew DobsonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136285512
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Biosecurity is the assessment and management of potentially dangerous infectious diseases, quarantined pests, invasive (alien) species, living modified organisms, and biological weapons. It is a holistic concept of direct relevance to the sustainability of agriculture, food safety, and the protection of human populations (including bio-terrorism), the environment, and biodiversity. Biosecurity is a relatively new concept that has become increasingly prevalent in academic, policy and media circles, and needs a more comprehensive and inter-disciplinary approach to take into account mobility, globalisation and climate change. In this introductory volume, biosecurity is presented as a governance approach to a set of concerns that span the protection of indigenous biological organisms, agricultural systems and human health, from invasive pests and diseases. It describes the ways in which biosecurity is understood and theorized in different subject disciplines, including anthropology, political theory, ecology, geography and environmental management. It examines the different scientific and knowledge practices connected to biosecurity governance, including legal regimes, ecology, risk management and alternative knowledges. The geopolitics of biosecurity is considered in terms of health, biopolitics and trade governance at the global scale. Finally, biosecurity as an approach to actively secure the future is assessed in the context of future risk and uncertainties, such as globalization and climate change.
The Use of Herbicides in the Forest
Author: Ian WilloughbyPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
If used correctly, herbicides can be of considerable assistance in establishing new woodlands and in re-stocking old ones. This edition of the field book aims to assist managers in safe and effective vegetation management. It retains the same layout and general contents of previous editions, but is updated to take into account herbicide and applicator innovations, as well as commercial and statutory withdrawal of products. The major difference from previous editions is that all herbicides with full forestry approval are included. A list of all products with forestry approval is also given. In addition, there is a section on the use of herbicides in farm forestry situations. Useful wall charts covering the use of herbicides in the forest and post- and pre-planting over a year are inserted loose.

Book Description
Bogs are fascinating landscapes for ecologists, climatologists, archaeologists, environmental historians and water managers. But many bogs have been damaged, and legislative protection - as 29 case studies demonstrate - is not enough to conserve the rest.
