Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Coastal conservation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lockwood, Julie L., Auteur Editeur : Cambridge university press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : XVI-382 p. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-02279-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 577 Ecologie Résumé : Coastal ecosystems are centers of high biological productivity, but their conservation is often threatened by numerous and complex environmental factors. Citing examples from the major littoral habitats worldwide, such as sandy beaches, salt marshes, and mangrove swamps, this text characterizes the biodiversity of coastline environments and highlights important aspects of their maintenance and preservation, aided by the analysis of key representative species. Leaders in the field provide reviews of the foremost threats to coastal networks, including the effects of climate change, invasive species, and major pollution incidents such as oil spills. Further discussion underscores the intricacies of measuring and managing coastline species in the field, taking into account the difficulties in quantifying biodiversity loss due to indirect cascading effects and trophic skew. Synthesizing the current state of species richness with present and projected environmental pressures, the book ultimately establishes a research agenda for implementing and improving conservation practices moving forward.

Invasion ecology / Lockwood, Julie L.

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Invasion ecology Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lockwood, Julie L., Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 444 p. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4443-3364-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 577 Ecologie Résumé : This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species. Highlighting important research findings associated with each stage of invasion, the book provides an overview of the invasion process from transportation patterns and causes of establishment success to ecological impacts, invader management, ana ppistinvasiofi evolution. the authors have produced new chapters on predicting and preventing invasion, managing and eradicating invasive species, and invasion dynamics in a changing climate. Modern global trade and travel have led to unprecedented movement of non-native species by humans with unforeseen, interesting, and occasionally devastating consequenes. Increasing recognition of the problems associated with invasion has led to a rapid growth in research into the dynamics of non-native species and their adverse effects on native biota and human economies. This book provides a synthesis of this rapidly growing field of research and is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students in ecology and conservation management.
