Contamination of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications discusses the pressing environmental issues facing the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The book is based on the author's lectures and research over the past decade, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of marine contamination from an ecological standpoint. Key topics include the distribution of persistent organic pollutants, their transfer from non-living compartments to organisms, human chemical impacts, global change effects on pollutant distribution, and how tourism affects warming polar oceans. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basics of geography, polar climate, ecosystem structure, contaminant properties, and marine biology and ecology. The second part presents case studies that illustrate the ecological impacts of the topics discussed in Part One. This structure helps readers gain a holistic view of contamination issues in marine ecosystems of polar regions.

Animals and Human Society: Impacts of Animals on People and People on Animals, Second editon provides a solid, scientific, research-based background to advance our understanding of how animals and humans interact and impact each other. Animals and humans have had profound effects on each other throughout human history, spanning all aspects of human society from agriculture, disease, culture, religion, companionship, entertainment, environment, and more. Developed by renowned experts Colin Scanes and Samia Toukhsati, this second edition features a new introductory chapter covering the biological concepts necessary for technical and non-technical audiences of this book. All first edition chapters have been revised to bring readers up to date on research advancements from the last decade, and novel chapters cover animal ethics, welfare, the basis of anthrozoology, zooarchaeology, and more. Guest essays further supplement updated chapter content by providing broad interdisciplinary and geographically diverse perspectives in the field. Animals and Human Society, Second Edition is an excellent resource for academics and industry professionals requiring fundamental information on the history and biology behind human-animal interactions, as well as interested laypersons looking to augment their knowledge on the many impacts of animals in human society.

Decoding Plant-Environment-Microbiome Interactions in Stress-Resilient Agriculture provides foundational as well as future-facing insights into the emerging field of phytomicrobiome. Highlighting its unique advantages in addressing stressed soils and optimizing crop production this book specifically delves into the potential of phytomicrobiomes as natural bioresources to be optimized for improved interactions. Research has shown that the phytomicrobiome, comprising root-associated microbiota, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), endophytes, phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs), arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, and actinomycetal populations, can enhance stress tolerance and ameliorate contaminated soils, enabling sustainable crop production under adverse conditions. However, the precise mechanisms through which the phytomicrobiome enhances stress resilience remain largely unexplored. Successful utilization of these natural bioresources in agriculture necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between phytomicrobiomes and stressed plants, from fundamental processes to mechanistic insights. Presenting data and insights from globally recognized scientists and academicians with extensive research experience in microbiome-plant interactions Decoding Plant-Environment_Microbiome Interactions provides readers with the latest information and enables further advancements.

A marvelously illustrated look at bats from around the world The only mammals capable of flight, bats are found on every major continent on the planet. They perform crucial roles in the ecosystems they inhabit, from consuming insect pests over agricultural crops and forests to pollinating night-flowering plants, dispersing seeds in tropical biomes, and recycling nutrients and creating natural fertilizer. Many of the world’s 1,400 species are threatened or endangered due to habitat destruction, climate change, and persecution arising from harmful myths. This beautifully illustrated guide demystifies these fascinating creatures, blending the latest science with fact-filled profiles of representative species, from the tiny bumblebee bat to the imposing giant golden crowned flying fox. A must for bat lovers everywhere, Bats of the World showcases the extraordinary diversity of this incredible group of animals.<ul><li>Features a wealth of stunning color photos and engaging infographics</li><li>Shares invaluable insights into the anatomy, evolution, and behavior of bats and their cultural and ecological importance</li><li>Profiles bats from every family, detailing their unique features, distribution, numbers, conservation status, and habitat</li><li>Written by leading experts in bat ecology and conservation</li></ul>

Climate Smart Crops: Enhancing Resilience and Adaptation is a comprehensive overview of modern technologies and strategies to improve plants in terms of food, feed, fodder, fibre and fuel production for human well-being in the face of climate change. With focus on the latest advances in plant molecular mapping and genome sequencing, it demonstrates how genomics-assisted strategies can be utilized to produce improved plants with climate-smart traits. Significant successes in the areas of molecular breeding, transgenics and genomics have contributed to revolutionary modifications in cereal-vegetable-fruit-oilseed crop-improvement strategies and methods, but there is still work to be done. Understanding the strategies and approaches that are most appropriate for enhancing production is key to effective, efficient, and timely advancement of further crop yield quality and quantity through crop genetics, genomics, breeding, biotechnology, and in the disciplines of agronomy, agriculture, agroforestry, horticulture and phytoremediation. Climate Smart Crops: Enhancing Resilience and Adaptation provides an excellent basis for current state of the science for climate smart crops as well as and inspiring future research.

Ecohydrology from Catchment to Coast

From Catchment to Coast in Japan: The Past, the Present, and the Future of Japanese Water Resources and Human Activities addresses seven broad questions relating to water resource management in Japan: What water reforms have occurred in Japan over the past 100 years? What is the current condition of Japan related to regional and rural communities, major water-related assets, and salinity and water quality? How have the water reforms to date influenced policy and management? How do traditional and modern water resources differ from Western countries? What challenges face Japan over the next and beyond 30 years, particularly due to climate change?, and more. Other questions answered include: What are possible policy and management responses to climate change and other future challenges? What can be done to improve decision-making processes given the general lack of trust in the governments, agencies, and their current processes? What is the way ahead for policy and management reforms in Japan?, and much more.
