This book presents the first empirically tested, comprehensive study on shifting cultivation in Mizoram. Such cultivation leads to the burning and degradation of vast areas of forestland and therefore has adverse impacts on the floral and faunal resources.

This book focuses on water resources and the economic, financial, social and environmental impacts (ICSDWE) of global warming and climate change. The book is a valuable resource for students and researchers at government organizations, academic institutions, and NGOs.

A large part of the global population lives in arid lands which have low rainfall and often lack the water required for sustainable population and economic growth.

This book covers the full spectrum of water and environment conservation, offering management lessons, identifying the barriers to transformative change, and then presenting agendas and initiatives for sustainable global water and environment management.

This book focuses on water resources and the economic, financial, social and environmental impacts (ICSDWE) of global warming and climate change. The book is a valuable resource for students and researchers at government organizations, academic institutions, and NGOs.

The systematic methodology of comprehensive ecological assessment of anthropogenic impact on natural geosystems and their differentiations on the level of technogenic conditionality for ensuring rational environmental management and environmental protection are discussed.

This study presents authentic data compiled from field experiments and investigations, and provides a point of reference for any future changes associated with anthropogenic activity in semiarid ecosystems.

This book provides an overview of arid and semi-arid lands conditions, their general characteristics, methods of management, conservation, exploitation and reclamation.

This book represents an introductory review of disturbance ecology and threat analysis, providing schematic concepts and approaches useful for work on sites that are affected by the impact of human actions.

It is unique in that it clearly distinguishes between environmental project management (EnvPM) and green project management (GreenPM), and presents an amalgamation of environmental management and project management concepts, using geospatial methods to form an EnvPM concept.

The book discusses the fundamental aspects of traditional air pollution topics as well as some more advanced topics (such as atmospheric brown cloud, trans-boundary movement of air pollutants, air transportation of radioactive material, biological air pollutants, etc.).

This work presents the findings of an extensive study on the state-of-the-art regarding the problem of food waste in Belarus, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden.

This book offers a complete picture of the Indian Central Himalayan Region and its livelihood. Coverage includes geo-environmental setting, socio-economy and population profile, sustainable livelihoods, and development of tourism and hydroelectricity.

This volume covers a very wide range of topics, including core areas in commutative algebra and also relations to algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, hyperplane arrangements, homological algebra, and string theory.

at the interface between natural elemental processes and the way we use them, that geochemical approaches meet the demand of technical at tempts to minimize the impact of environmentally relevant activities, like mining, waste handling, or manufacturing.

Bringing together the fields of geodesy and environmental studies, this book presents the concepts of GNSS in a simplified way that can, on the one hand, be understood and utilised by environmentalists, while on the other, outlines its potential applications to environmental monitoring and management for those engaged more with its technology.

Foreword Over the past decades, Piero Risoluti has built up an intimate knowl edge of the nuclear industry - in particular of nuclear waste man agement.

Assembling a wealth of multi-disciplinary techniques for addressing environmental problems such as pollution and climate change, this volume features simplified presentation aimed at non-experts, demonstrating geoinformatics potency as a research toolkit.

Protection of the environment has nowadays become a major challenge and a condi tion for survival of future human generations and life on Earth in general.

This book systematically presents recent progress made in the research of aeolian processes, especially in the research on mechanism, theoretical modelling and computational simulation of aeolian processes from the viewpoint of mechanics.

With contributions by numerous experts

This reference explores oceanographic and biological conditions involved in the transfer and accumulation of radionuclides in marine sediment and biota of the Northern European seas.

Complete with three case-studies, this highly practical book discusses useful bioindicators for sustainable coastal management, criteria for coastal area sensitivity to eutrophication and an approach that sets a biological value of coastal areas.

This book advocates a fish quota based on holistic ecosystem modeling and also a plan for sustainable management of the Baltic Sea, which accounts for production of prey and predatory fish, professional and recreational fishing, and fish cage farm production.

This book examines bioremediation, which involves processes that reduce overall treatment cost through the application of agricultural residues.
