Ehringer J: Ecology of Tampa Bay

Ecology of Tampa Bay

Exploring the Interconnected Ecosystems of Florida's Largest Estuary

Translational Systems Sciences

This is an Open Access book.
In 2015, Industry 4.0 was announced with the rise of industrialization by the European Parliament, supporting policy, research, and infrastructure funding. In 2020, Industry 5.0 was launched as an evolution of Industry 4.0, towards societal and ecological values in a sustainable, human-centric, and resilient transition. In 2023, the IN4ACT research project team completed 4 years of research on the impact on these initiatives.Presentations reviewing the progress of management practices and economics led to conversations about what's next. The unanticipated rise in late 2022 of Generative AI technologies (e.g. ChatGPT, DALL-E) sparked dialogues with an extended circle of researchers on impacts not considered in 2015 or in 2020.

 
This collection of chapters reflects multiple perspectives on research findings to 2023, prospects for 2024, and considerations on ways the techno-economic industrial revolutions may be reshaped into desirable futures respecting social and ecological concerns.

Explorations in the Transition from a Techno-Economic to a Socio-Technical Future

Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0

WILDE WORTE - wo die Sprache wächst und wir die Welt neu entdecken.
 

 In der weiten, weiten Welt 
 

 mit ihren hohen, weiten Himmeln 
 

 warten wilde, wilde Worte darauf, 
 

 ausgesprochen zu werden.
 

 'Wollen wir?', fragt Cora. 
 

 'Lass uns los!', sagt Ada.
 

 Und schon beginnt ein Spaziergang durch Wiesen, Bäche und Wälder, über Kiesel und unter Wolken. Gemeinsam schauen, staunen und hören die beiden genau hin - und finden Worte für das, was sie erleben. Dabei begegnen sie der echten Sprache der Natur - Eintagsfliegen, Seeschnecken, Amseln, Tang - und erfinden zugleich neue Wörter, die nur darauf warten, entdeckt zu werden:
 

 Wo die Kiesel im Wasser glänzen, da ist Plätschergold. Wo die Samen im Wind treiben,
da sind Wiesenwirbler. Wo die Steine in der Sonne trocknen, da ist Gischtknistern.
 

 Wilde Worte zeigt, wie Sprache entsteht - aus dem genauen Hinsehen, Hinhören, Fühlen. Es ist ein Buch, das nicht nur erzählt, sondern inspiriert: Kinder beginnen, eigene Worte zu finden, eigene Bilder, eigene Bedeutungen. Ein riesiger Spaß, ein Füllhorn an Inspiration und der perfekte Begleiter vor, während oder nach einem Spaziergang.

Wilde Worte

Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, vor rund 30 Jahren kam ich erstmals mit Inhalten von 'Spektrum der Wissenschaft' in Berührung. Der Verlag brachte damals Sammelbände zu verschiedenen Themen heraus, und ich besorgte mir unter anderem die Ausgaben zu 'Biodiversität' und 'Geodynamik und Plattentektonik'. Bis heute fasziniert mich die Forschung rund um die beiden Komplexe, von denen wir in dieser 'edition' die Dynamik der Erde erneut aufgreifen.
Besonders eindrucksvoll zeigen sich die gewaltigen Kräfte im Erdinneren in Gebirgen oder an Vulkanen, die ich gerne als Ziele ansteuere: Blicke ich beispielsweise von einem Gipfel über die Alpen, ist das wie eine Zeitreise durch die Erdgeschichte. Schließlich dauert es Millionen Jahre, um Gebirge aufzufalten - oder ganze Kontinente über die Erdoberfläche zu bewegen. In Bruchteilen von Sekunden können sich diese Kräfte jedoch auch zu Katastrophen entfesseln, wenn lange miteinander verhakte Gesteinsschichten brechen und die Erde bebt. Das will selbst ein Freund der Geophysik wohl nicht selbst erleben.
Das Antlitz der Erde prägen aber noch weitere, nicht minder faszinierende Prozesse an der Oberfläche, etwa die Erosion durch Flüsse, die Macht der Gezeiten oder schnelle Massebewegungen, die der Schwerkraft folgen und ganze Berge im wahrsten Sinne versetzen können. Noch können wir Menschen diese dynamischen Ereignisse nur in Maßen oder gar nicht beeinflussen. Doch erste Ansätze werden unter dem Stichwort des Geoengineering erprobt. Ich denke, dass wir uns davor hüten sollten - zu wenig wissen wir, was passiert, wenn wir diese Manipulation in große Stile durchführen würden.
In dieser 'edition' stellen wir Ihnen einige der wichtigsten und spannendsten Erkenntnisse über die 'Dynamische Erde' vor, die in den letzten Jahren erforscht wurden. Und dennoch bewahrt sich unser Planet weiterhin viele Geheimnisse. Ich bin deshalb sicher, dass wir nicht erst wieder in 30 Jahren einen neuen großen Sammelband zu den Kräften der Erde bekommen werden.
Herzlich grüßt Daniel Lingenhöhl, Chefredakteur Spektrum der Wissenschaft.

A NEW YORK TIMES October New Books Pick and NEW SCIENTIST Best New Popular Science Book 2026'Recasts bogs as the magical wonderlands that they secretly are' ED YONG'Full of enchantment and drama' NEW YORK TIMES'Rare and exciting' ANNIE PROULXStep into the unearthly world of bogs. Sink beneath the surface. In this sumptuous, fecund place, what wonders await you?This is a world with an ecology like no other, where amphibian-eating plants and acid-flinging mosses grow rampant. A realm of peat, laid down layer upon layer, preserving millennia of Earth's history. A dark, vertical landscape where the sheer abundance of carbon precariously locked away holds our very future in balance.Above all, bogs are places of paradox, where past meets present in the remarkably preserved artefacts and bodies entombed in their depths, land meets water in an otherworldly landscape, and safety meets danger for those who dare to venture into the heart of the bog. With renowned bog ecologist Merritt Turetsky as your guide, Boglands is an invitation to enter a beguiling landscape that will irrevocably change the way you see the natural world.'An urgent call to save our remaining boglands' WALL STREET JOURNAL

Rough Guides Florida: Travel Guide with eBook

To appreciate the wonders of the world around us, we're often told to look up. But what if we need to look down instead?The ground beneath our feet hums with a staggering abundance of winding roots, interconnecting fungal networks, wriggling creatures and mind-blowing microbial life. This glittering ecosystem is the single most biodiverse habitat on the planet. Half of all our species exist underfoot, and just a handful of soil can contain an entire world. Without soil, there would be no life as we know it.Everything that happens below ground sustains all life above it - yet we rarely think about this mysterious, dark underland. In The World Beneath Our Feet soil ecologist Frank Ashwood scratches the surface and takes us on an eye-opening safari through this precious ecosystem, from the ancient forests of New Zealand to the vast black soil deposits of China. Every layer of the pedosphere is a world of its own, each more alien than the last as we travel deeper into the Earth.In a story of connection and communication, we meet pioneering plants and invisible insects that are essential to the health and wellbeing of our planet. We learn how soil makes our very existence possible, allowing us to cultivate crops as well as storing the water we need to survive. We marvel at soil as the Earth's fertiliser and one the building blocks of evolution, transforming decaying matter into the birthplace of new life.The World Beneath Our Feet opens our eyes to the hidden, wondrous world of soil and invites us all to play a part in protecting it for future generations.

The Hidden Life of Soil and Why It Matters to Us All

The World Beneath Our Feet

'Your world will be larger for reading this book' CHLOE DALTON author of Raising HareWelcome to the hidden, squirming world of parasites - some of the most misunderstood, and most important, creatures with whom we share the Earth. And our bodies.There is the tapeworm, which can grow one hundred and twenty feet within the gut of a whale. The tsetse fly, a notorious vector of disease whose needle-like mouth can pierce even crocodile skin. And the most universal symbol of parasitic behaviour: the much-mythologised leech. Long villainised, yet vital to every ecosystem on Earth, these parasitic creatures have driven evolution, shaped civilisations, and altered the course of human history. And we have almost entirely ignored them.Dr Dino Martins is an award-winning entomologist and biologist from Kenya's Turkana Basin - where life on Earth began - and he has made it his life's mission to demystify these beguiling beings. Hidden Creaturestakes us on a journey around the world ten times over - from the wilds of East Africa to the rainforests of the Amazon, from Borneo to the public parks of London. Along the way, we encounter brilliant and eccentric experts and students who join Martins on his adventures to investigate not just parasites but their astonishing cast of hosts: elephants and rhinos, hyraxes and hippos, and, of course, the elusive human.Immersive, entertaining and driven by an utterly infectious curiosity, Hidden Creatureshas the magnetic force of a David Attenborough documentary and introduces a monumental, charismatic new voice in science writing. It will transform your understanding of the natural world.

Future of Business and Finance

This book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of a major paradigm shift in the automotive industry: the transition from traditional system integration to dynamic ecosystem collaboration. It draws on scientific research from LocosLab GmbH and the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, alongside practical insights from Deloitte’s Global Automotive Practice. The book examines how automotive companies increasingly cooperate within innovation and transaction ecosystems. It explores the technical architecture of these ecosystems, including customer applications, middleware, and backend systems. Key topics include the evolution of software-defined vehicle innovation ecosystems, challenges in homologation, opportunities for business development, and the changing role of traditional OEMs. It presents the global status quo of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) ecosystems and explores their future coexistence with private car ownership, again highlighting the strategic implications for OEMs.

The book aims to provide inspiration, appeal to both academics and practitioners, and encourage collaboration between different disciplines.

'Thrilling and delightful' - GEORGE MONBIOT 'Vital, brilliant, wholly absorbing... A masterpiece of science writing' - ISABELLA TREE 'A travelogue to a land of mystery and wonder' - STEVE BRUSATTEDiscover the extraordinary hidden world beneath our feet, home to more than half of all life on Earth. We spend our lives exploring forests, oceans and even space. Yet the most biodiverse habitat on the planet is right beneath us.In The World Beneath Our Feet, expert scientist and macrophotographer Frank Ashwood takes us on an unforgettable journey into this astonishing underground ecosystem. Travelling from the ancient forests of New Zealand to the vast black soils of the US and China, he reveals a world teeming with life: miniature engineers, microscopic predators, vast fungal networks and billions upon billions of microbes.A single teaspoon of soil can contain up to six billion organisms. Meet earthworms that transform the ground as they move through it, pinhead-sized pseudoscorpions, almost indestructible tardigrades and nematode worms that may be the most abundant animals on Earth. Together, these extraordinary creatures help sustain life above ground, recycling nutrients and supporting the soils that feed our crops, store water and sustain our forests. Soil microbes have even given us life-saving medicines, including antibiotics.Soil stores more carbon than all the world's plants and atmosphere combined, yet degradation, erosion and climate change are putting this vital ecosystem under increasing pressure.This book is a thrilling journey into the hidden world beneath our feet, and why we cannot live without it.'This is nature writing at its best and a book for our time.' - LEILA PHILIP, New York Times 'An absolute page-turner.' - JAKE ROBINSON

Can you tell your wasps from your hornets or your frogs from your toads? Did you know that hares live in above-ground nests while rabbits live underground in burrows? Was it a herring gull or a common gull that stole your chips at the seaside? And what IS the difference between a shrimp and a prawn? (No, they're not the same animal!) Get to know the animals that even grown-ups struggle to tell apart, from big cats with different coats like leopards and cheetahs, llamas and alpacas, lizards and salamanders and many more. Packed with fascinating facts and realistic artwork, Tell Us Apart is a beautiful gift package that outlines the key differences between the often-confused pairs in the animal kingdom to give budding young naturalists a fun facts edge.
