  • An Integrative Approach to Successional Dynamics

    Tempo and Mode of Vegetation Change

    by Scott J. Meiners, Steward T. A. Pickett, Mary L. Cadenasso ...
    Much of what is considered conventional wisdom about succession is not as clear cut as it is generally believed. Yet, the importance of succession in ecology is undisputed since it offers a real insight into the dynamics and structure of all plant communities. Part monograph and part conceptual treatise, An Integrative Approach to Successional Dynamics presents a unifying conceptual framework for ... Read more

  • Walkable City

    How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time

    by Jeff Speck ...
    Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive. And he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability.The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks, vital mass transit, and a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban core. But in the typical American city, the car is still king, and downtown is a place that's easy to drive to but often not worth ... Read more

Her goals, though modest, are important if growing inequality in urban ... Read more

  • Predictive Species and Habitat Modeling in Landscape Ecology

    Concepts and Applications

    Edited by C. Ashton Drew, Falk Huettmann, Yolanda F. Wiersma ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Most projects in Landscape Ecology, at some point, define a species-habitat association. These models are inherently spatial, dealing with landscapes and their configurations. Whether coding behavioral rules for dispersal of simulated organisms through simulated landscapes, or designing the sampling extent of field surveys and experiments in real landscapes, landscape ecologists must make ...

  • Origins of Biogeography

    The role of biological classification in early plant and animal geography

    by Malte Christian Ebach ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book presents a revised history of early biogeography and investigates the split in taxonomic practice, between the classification of taxa and the classification of vegetation. It moves beyond the traditional belief that biogeography is born from a synthesis of Darwin and Wallace and focuses on the important pioneering work of earlier practitioners such as Zimmermann, Stromeyer, de Candolle ...

  • The Botany of Mangroves

    by P. Barry Tomlinson ...
    Mangroves are distinctive tropical plant communities that occupy the intertidal zone between sea and land. They are of major ecological importance, have economic value as a source of food and raw materials, and serve as a buffer from flooding and climate change-induced sea level rise. Mangroves are under threat from pollution, clearance and over-exploitation, and increasing concern has driven ... Read more

  • Food and Urbanism

    The Convivial City and a Sustainable Future

    by Susan Parham ...
    Cities are home to over fifty percent of the world's population, a figure which is expected to increase enormously by 2050. Despite the growing demand on urban resources and infrastructure, food is still often overlooked as a key factor in planning and designing cities. Without incorporating food into the design process – how it is grown, transported, and bought, cooked, eaten and disposed of – it ... Read more
