Climate Change Impacts on Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum


Free Download Climate Change Impacts on Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981997934X | 807 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 76 MB
This book explores the interaction between climate change phenomena and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC), which inspects the crucial role of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in modifying the net ecosystem response towards the modified environment. Increasing concentration of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) from massive deforestation, fossil fuel burning and rapid industrialization in the post-nineteenth century have led to adverse changes in our global climate system. The book evaluates the net impact of climate change on soil, plants and the atmosphere individually and in totality. Among the topics it covers are the impact of climate change on soil environment which encompasses soil processes, nutrient cycling, soil carbon sequestration, soil biota response and soil health management. Also included are the impact on plants with respect to the dry matter assimilation pattern, modification in resource use efficiency, rhizosphere interactions, management of biotic and abiotic stress factors, and regulatory mechanisms of biotic stress factors in modifying the net agroecosystem response towards climate change. Moreover, potential genetic engineering options for establishing C4 or Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in C3 plants, heat-drought stress on pollen biology, breeding ideotype, ecological indicators and crop simulation modelling are considered. Lastly, the impact on the atmosphere takes into account greenhouse gas measurements, mitigation options, eddy covariance measurement of greenhouse gasses, satellite-based monitoring, ecosystem services, abiotic stress management options, air pollution and atmospheric modelling. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, students and policymakers in understanding climate change impacts on interaction processes among the atmosphere, soil and plants from the local to regional scales.

Burma The Challenge of Change in a Divided Society


Free Download Burma: The Challenge of Change in a Divided Society By Peter. Carey
1997 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 0333595726 | PDF | 7 MB
‘The way forward can only be through a mature political process that will reconcile widely differing points of view and achieve consensus on the challenges that confront our nation and our people. Burma…confronts this issue by acknowledging the validity of contrasting and even conflicting opinions.’ – Daw Aung San Suu Kyi An up-to-date collection of essays by leading academics and Burma specialists covering some of the key economic, ethnic, political and social problems which currently confront Burma. The book is divided into four parts: Politics and Constitution Making, Foreign Policy, Views from the Periphery, and the Challenges of Development. Peter Carey’s introduction provides a useful historical background, and assesses the political prospects for Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy following her 1995 release.

Atlas of Global Change Risk of Population and Economic Systems (2024)


Free Download Atlas of Global Change Risk of Population and Economic Systems by Peijun Shi (Editor-in-Chief)
English | EPUB | 2022 | 300 Pages | ISBN : 9811666903 | 543.3 MB
This book is and illustrates the spatial distribution of the global change risk of population and economic systems with the maps of environment, global climate change, global population and economic systems, and global change risk. The risks of global change are mapped at 0.25 degree grid unit. The risk results and their contribution rates of the world at national level are unprecedentedly derived and ranked. The book can be a good reference for researchers and students in the field of global climate change and natural disaster risk management, as well as risk managers and enterpriser to understand the global change risk of population and economic systems.

Adaptation to Climate Change A Spatial Challenge (2024)


Free Download Rob Roggema, "Adaptation to Climate Change: A Spatial Challenge"
English | 2009 | pages: 375 | ISBN: 1402093586, 9401777160 | PDF | 23,6 mb
As it becomes clear that climate change is not easily within the boundaries of the 1990’s, society needs to be prepared and needs to anticipate future changes due to the uncertain changes in climate. So far, extensive research has been carried out on several issues including the coastal defence or shifting ecozones. However, the role spatial design and planning can play in adapting to climate change has not yet been focused on.
