Download or read book Experimental Geographical Ecology written by Erland G. Kolomyts and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a paradigm of experimental geographical ecology and its core—landscape ecology—providing a number of empirical statistical models and ecological geographical concepts developed on the basis of these. It highlights the mechanisms of formation of regional- and local-level landscape-ecological systems, their natural and anthropogenic dynamics, and their evolutionary trends. It presents numerical methods of making landscape-ecological forecasts and assessing forest sustainability, and provides quantitative estimates of local and regional biotic regulation of the carbon cycle according to the scenarios of modern temperature growth and mitigation of warming, set out by the Paris (2015) Agreement on Climate Change. As such, the book will be a useful source of reference for field research, statistical and cartographic processing of the obtained data, mathematical modeling, geoecological interpretation of results, and the creation of theoretical schemes of geosystem analysis. It will appeal to specialists in the fields of geographical ecology, landscape-ecological modeling, and environmental forecasting.

Download or read book Geographical Ecology written by Robert H. MacArthur and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1984-07-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1972 and now available for the first time in paperback, this book is the summation of the life work of one of the most influential scientists of our time. Of permanent interest in this history and philosophy of science, it is also frequently cited in the current ecological literature and is still up-to-date in many categories. Written in MacArthur's beautifully lucid style this work will continue to be read by anyone concerned with biological ideas. *Lightning Print On Demand Title

Download or read book Geographic Information Systems in Ecology written by Carol A Johnston and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1998-02-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographical information systems are one of the most revolutionary and important tools that have become available to ecological researchers in recent years. Many ecologists are unaware, however, of the full power of GIS techniques and are not using them to their full advantage. By providing examples of ecological applications at scales ranging from organisms to landscapes, this new book offers basic information on the variety of analyses available using GIS. Also discussed is the full scope for linkage to related technologies like remote sensing and methods like spatially explicit modelling. Researchers will find this an invaluable guide to applying and getting the most out of GIS techniques. Presumes no previous GIS experience. A practical guide to using GIS in ecological research. Uses numerous and varied experimental examples and data.
