Being a tropical city, the district Gorakhpur is also among the wet-land belts of India, locally called as Tarai Belt. As a result the water table is higher and also the city is rich in large water bodies. The field study consisted of the survey and analysis of groundwater and the quality analysis of the water in Rangarh lake, a prominent water body in the heart of the city. The macrophytic diversity of the lake has also been evaluated. Finally, the polluted water of the lake as well as that of the groundwater was subjected to phytoremediation. The findings have been documented by the means of thirteen chapters. The book is useful tool for all the scientists, research scholars and the field workers who are directly or indirectly involved in the field research regarding the water pollution and its remediation and also for those who are involved in the study of lentic system biodiversity. The book is also recommended to be must for the libraries of all the research organisations, Universities and the NGOs involved in the subject. ····· 103611074

The livelihoods of the majority depend on this resource, especially for countries like Ethiopia where agriculture is the mainstay of the national economy. Land use systems are characterized by complex interactions between human decision makers and the natural environment. Hence, when the users of land decide to employ their land and its resources towards different purposes, land use change occurs. Land use change is believed to be a rapid process in Ethiopia in general and (agro-) pastoral production systems in particular. Likewise, the Somali Region has experienced dramatic land use change over the past several decades. The objective of the study is to describe major land use changes occurred in Kebribeyah district of Somali Region since 1960s, and explain the drivers of these changes. ····· 10361927

In order to design and maintain ideal captive environments for primates, it is important to incorporate applied animal behaviour and welfare research in the mandate of conservation breeding programmes in zoos. In this study, the behaviour of captive lion-tailed macaques in 18 Indian zoos was recorded to identify the factors that influence the behavioural repertoire of captive lion-tailed macaques. Behavioural sampling was carried out only during the day when visitors were present at the macaque enclosures. The results showed that stereotypic pacing was the most commonly exhibited behavioural abnormality. Abnormal behaviours were only exhibited by confiscated and zoo-born individuals but never by wild-caught and captive-reared animals. ····· 10361820

It is widely recognized as a tool for biodiversity conservation and can play an important role in managing the site for biodiversity conservation. The Sonadia Island has significant tourism potential as there are many features of interest at the site including globally significant species. The distribution of species varied in different sites of the study area. In Sonadia Island a total of 53 different plant species (both sand dune and mangrove ecosystems) were found. Study shows that potentiality of mangrove areas for ecotourism is high, especially for the sites which are accessible and located close to the existing resorts and hotels in Coz s Bazar. ····· 10361798

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Predation is one of the commonest ecologial interactions in the natural world, and predators have attracted attention from all sort of naturalists, and then scientists, since time immemorial. However, the influence of predator prey relationships on the functioning of ecosystems remains largely unclear. The theoretical and empirical studies available to date are insufficient to provide comprehensive knowledge on the ecological consequences of predation, especially as the biological complexity increases. Predator prey studies are also of much interest for the conservation of prey, and particularly of predators, mainly due to the traditional, strongly unfounded conflict between them and game harvesting. This book, with its six main chapters, aspires to increase and stimulate current knowledge of predator prey relationships worldwide. For this purpose, the author takes advantage of the in-depth exploration based on either an ecological or a conservation approach of a typical Mediterranean vertebrate system. As a result, some old, controversial questions now find novel, science-based answers. ····· 10361549

Nees & Eberm) was tested for allelopathic influence in studies of seed germination, seedling growth and soil algal populations of species identified in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. This included an allelopathy glasshouse trial on germinating seed and soil algae, the development of a technique for field identification of the camphor laurel chemo-types, an application of the chemo-type differentiation technique in a field assessment of allepathic influence on seedling growth, and a review of the tree`s capability attributes providing a greater understanding of its role in plant succession. The findings indicate that camphor laurel does have a significant influence in altering plant succession. Therefore as the species expands its presence in the region, habitat change will also increase, placing further pressure or threat on both plant and animal communities. The work also suggests that there is need to seek a biological control, assess the trees` impact on leaf litter invertebrates and water quality, and to improve management of camphor laurel recruitment in forested areas. ····· 10361497

This study was conducted between 2003 2007, to investigate the effects of human encroachment on the forest, and establish its resilience to the disturbance by comparing forest aspects at three levels of disturbance. Forest cover was analysed using satellite image data by supervised classification at two year intervals. Five forest cover types were identified closed canopy forest, plantation forests, bamboo dominated forest, forest bush and grassland. Ground data was collected at 12 month intervals using 50 circular (28 m radius) plots inconspicuously placed in the forest. Trees were classified into big trees (dbh 40 cm), small trees (dbh 2040 cm), poles (dbh 5 20 cm) and saplings (height 1.5 m, dbh 5cm). Forest composition was analysed by tree numbers, and importance values. Vertical forest structure was compared by inverse J curves. Transformed data was used to plot linear regression lines that were compared for gradient, y - intercept and correlation coefficient (R2). Horizontal forest structure was estimate ····· 10361161
