This book delivers findings surrounding the drivers, design and evaluation of responsible land administration approaches. The drivers sections focuses on contemporary change forces including responsible technological innovation, post-conflict contexts, rural poverty, rapid urbanization, food securit..

The growing of crops for bioenergy has been subject to much recent criticism, as taking away land which could be used for food production or biodiversity conservation. This book challenges some commonly-held ideas about biofuels, bioenergy and energy cropping, particularly that energy crops pose an ..

A comprehensive guide to the tarpon and bonefish species, this book provides an overview of world tarpon and bonefish fisheries including their dynamics and status. Chapters cover tarpon and bonefish life history, age and growth, behavior, physiology, genetics, reproduction and recruitment, and move..

Groundwater response to global changes is a complex function that depends on climate change and variability, topography, aquifer characteristics, vegetation dynamics, and human activities. This book synthesizes the current state of knowledge, methodologies, and scientific approaches for assessing cl..

 Originally published in 1971, this report attempts to break down the economic factors of competition for wetlands in Minnesota and surrounding areas in a policy-relevant way and to suggest new policy alternatives. This title will be of interest to students of Environmental Studies...

Going beyond performing simple analyses, researchers involved in the highly dynamic field of computational intelligent data analysis design algorithms that solve increasingly complex data problems in changing environments, including economic, environmental, and social data. This volume presents nove..

Thanks to advances in electronic archiving of biodiversity data and the digitization of climate and other geophysical data, a new era in biogeography, functional ecology, and evolutionary ecology has begun. In this book Christian Korner, Eva M. Spehn, and a team of experts from the Global Mountain B..
