Advanced Ecological Theory is intended for both postgraduate students and professional researchers in ecology. It provides an overview of current advances in the field as well as closely related areas in evolution, ecological economics and natural resource management, familiarising the reader with the mathematical, computational and statistical...
The CIPRA compact "Nature Protection" provides an overview on actions for nature protection in the Alps to limit climate change and adapt to it. In the second chapter, CIPRA gives its central statement on this issue: nature protection means climate protection. Through the renaturation of marshland, a near-natural cultivation of forests, the revitalisation of rivers and the creation of...

Their aim was to explore the ways a safer and more sustainable world could be created. In the ensuing years, along with scientists, agriculturists, and a host of enthusiastic amateurs and friends, they set...
Ecological assessments are critical to land management planning and regulatory decision-making. This book addresses topics of particular importance to strategic integrated ecological assessments at a regional or sub-regional scale. The chapters range from overviews of basic ecological principles and ecosystem characterisation and analysis to systematic reviews of selected case studies. In this...
