During the last few decades man has exploited the environment to such as extent that the environmental equilibrium has been highly disturbed. Exploding population, deforestation, urbanization and industrialization have all rocked the environment very badly. This situation has arisen due to the greed and overambitious plans of human beings. Now the time has reached when the issues of environment should be seriously taken. There is an urgent need to find out a possible solution to prevent degradation the environment. Environment friendly approach to the development is the need of hour. Protecting environment is the responsibility of all of us. Each section of the society should work together for protecting the environment as a whole. Researches are being carried out throughout the world in various areas of environmentalscience. This book is an assemblage of the current researches in different fields of environment. The book has been divided into two sections - Section I includes research papers, while Section II has review articles by various scientists, experts and academicians. This book will be useful not only to the researchers, students, policy planners and academicians, working in the field of environmental science, but also be able to create a society of motivated people committed to conservation, preservation and protection of the environment and striving towards a life in perfect harmony with the nature.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    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...

    Aaron Ellison / Aaron M. Ellison / Nicholas J. Gotelli
    A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of Sarracenia purpurea-the northern pitcher...

  • Physiological Ecology
    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
