Sobre IBD

Agroecology studies the processes related to agriculture in an ecological system whereas agroecosystem is the fundamental unit of it. These systems are not limited to farming but also contain surroundings regions affected by these activities for example forest gardens. This book presents topics of key importance such as agricultural commercialization, climate change, small scale irrigation technologies, biotic and abiotic constraints, seed germination, etc. It also covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around these disciplines. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge. It is a beneficial text for ecologists, environmentalists, agriculturists, professionals and students alike.

    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
