~~264,34€~~ 237,91€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book illustrates a geospatial technology approach to data mining techniques, data analysis, modelling, risk assessment and visualization and management strategies in many elements of natural and societal hazards. This book delves into cutting-edge techniques based on open-source software and R statistical programming, Google Earth Engine and modelling in modern artificial intelligence techniques, with a particular emphasis on recent trends in data mining techniques and robust modelling in water resource crisis-related hazards. Furthermore, this book also discusses how to manage water resources at various local, regional and international levels while incorporating environmental considerations. This book contains works that address the connection between climate change, extreme events and resilience. These works include those that identify and evaluate policies, quantify the effects of public interventions, climate change on extreme events, describe the decision-making process and its role in modelling for resilience. This book''s subjects be of interest to earth and environmental scientists, professionals and authorities. This book focuses at geospatial modelling and climate change management. A relationship between three technologies, including remote sensing (RS), geographic information systems (GIS) and the R programming environment, is acknowledged as particularly effective in this regard. This book, on the other hand, serves as a practical guide to identify the most recent breakthroughs in geospatial and geostatistical approaches and their application in the field of subsurface water-induced hazards throughout the world.This book is specifically designed to serve the community of Undergraduates, Postgraduates and Researchers, Policymakers, Environmentalists, Natural Hazards and Disasters Management, NGOs, Corporate Sectors, Social Scientists, and Government Organizations in the fields of Environmental Sciences, Geography, Hydrology, Natural Hazards, Geospatial Sciences, Remote Sensing & GIS, Agriculture, Crop-Science, Forestry, Soil Science, Agronomy, Humanistic & Social Sciences and so on.

Climate Change Impacts On Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum

~~211,34€~~ 190,21€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores the interaction between climate change phenomena and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC), which inspects the crucial role of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in modifying the net ecosystem response towards the modified environment. Increasing concentration of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) from massive deforestation, fossil fuel burning and rapid industrialization in the post-nineteenth century have led to adverse changes in our global climate system. The book evaluates the net impact of climate change on soil, plants and the atmosphere individually and in totality. Among the topics it covers are the impact of climate change on soil environment which encompasses soil processes, nutrient cycling, soil carbon sequestration, soil biota response and soil health management. Also included are the impact on plants with respect to the dry matter assimilation pattern, modification in resource use efficiency, rhizosphere interactions, management of biotic and abiotic stress factors, and regulatory mechanisms of biotic stress factors in modifying the net agroecosystem response towards climate change. Moreover, potential genetic engineering options for establishing C4 or Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in C3 plants, heat-drought stress on pollen biology, breeding ideotype, ecological indicators and crop simulation modelling are considered. Lastly, the impact on the atmosphere takes into account greenhouse gas measurements, mitigation options, eddy covariance measurement of greenhouse gasses, satellite-based monitoring, ecosystem services, abiotic stress management options, air pollution and atmospheric modelling. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, students and policymakers in understanding climate change impacts on interaction processes among the atmosphere, soil and plants from the local to regional scales.

Climate Of Japan - Present And Past

de Takehiko Mikami

172,24€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book clarifies the climatic variations in Japan from the historical period to the present based on documentary sources and meteorological data. Japanese society has suffered from various kinds of natural disasters since ancient times, such as floods and high tides caused by torrential rainfall and strong winds. They were described in large numbers of historical documents including official local weather diaries. However, all these documents were written in Japanese or Chinese languages, which prevents non-readers of those languages from accessing them. Also, Japan is a Far Eastern island country, and the unique features of Japanese climate and natural disasters would be unfamiliar and unimaginable to them without being able to read those documents. How is the climate of Japan, and how was the climate during the Little Ice Age in Japan as compared with conditions in Europe and America? When did meteorological observations start, and who (which country) introduced them to Japan?Why did so many natural disasters occur in Japan, and what caused them? This book answers these questions as specifically and objectively as possible using both figures and photographs, which are beneficial to students and the general public who are interested in historical and current climatic change in Japan, as well as professional climate scientists.

Boreal Forests In The Face Of Climate Change - Sustainable Management

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This open access book explores a new conceptual framework for the sustainable management of the boreal forest in the face of climate change. The boreal forest is the second-largest terrestrial biome on Earth and covers a 14 million km2 belt, representing about 25% of the Earth’s forest area. Two-thirds of this forest biome is managed and supplies 37% of global wood production. These forests also provide a range of natural resources and ecosystem services essential to humanity. However, climate change is altering species distributions, natural disturbance regimes, and forest ecosystem structure and functioning. Although sustainable management is the main goal across the boreal biome, a novel framework is required to adapt forest strategies and practices to climate change.This collaborative effort draws upon 148 authors in summarizing the sustainable management of these forests and detailing the most recent experimental and observational results collected from across the boreal biome. It presents the state of sustainable management in boreal forests and highlights the critical importance of this biome in a context of global change because of these forests'' key role in a range of natural processes, including carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, and the maintaining of biodiversity. This book is an essential read for academics, students, and practitioners involved in boreal forest management. It outlines the challenges facing sustainable boreal forest management within the context of climate change and serves as a basis for establishing new research avenues, identifying future research trends, and developing climate-adapted forest management plans.
