Tropical Peatland Eco-management

In this "Tropical Peatland Eco-management" book, eco-management is new terminology as an abbreviation of "ecology-based management for natural capital enhancement". Key concept on this eco-management is derived from previous book: "Tropical Peatland Ecosystem"(Springer, 2015, eds. by M. Osaki and N. Tsuji). Based on this new concept, this book thoroughly examines tropical peatland eco-management for scientists, political decision makers, governmental officials, land managers, students, and NGO/NPOs who are interested in 1) what the impact of peatland on climate change and ecosystem function, 2) how the management of disturbed peatland, and 3) drawing global scale restoration mechanisms of peatland and wetland. In tropical peatland, a large amount of GHGs (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) is emitted due to the unappropriate development and inadequate management of peatland. The peatland ecosystems consist of the carbon-water complex, which is affected easily by the impact of human and climate change. Throughout much research of tropical peatland, the problems that result from development of tropical peatland are found to stem mainly from a lack of understanding of the complexities of this ecosystem and the fragility of the relationship between peat and forest and also between carbon and water.In past, almost all peatland development and management system have been generally designed on "water drainage system". On the contrast of old system, an innovated eco- management is, here, proposed as "water irrigation system", including water cycling and natural capital enhancement. Through this book readers will learn the advanced peatland eco-management, with more practical methods and procedure based on ecosystem knowledge.

Green Energy Sources (eBook, ePUB)

Is the fact that you would like to learn how to conserve energy and help out Mother Earth but just don't know how to get started making you feel really bad... maybe you have even thought about just giving up? Does it seem like you've tried everything in your power to learn how to live green when it comes to energy, and no matter how hard you try and despite your commitment to the issue, you're still plagued with: . Not knowing what is needed to get started . Not understanding alternative fuels . Not knowing how to use fuel conservation techniques An inconvenient truth was a documentary about how the earth's temperatures are rising, the polar ice caps are melting and the oceans are rising. Decade after decade we hear news about climate change, increasing pollution with more and more animals and people getting sick. Basically, the story was all about how the earth will die if we won't do something about it. Global warming and pollution go hand in hand but the major concern of most scientists and environmentalists now is global warming or the constant rise of the earth's temperature. For the past decades, science has recorded that the constant rise in temperature has been caused by human activity. With all the pollutants that are produced by humans, these three gases namely, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. Studies have already shown how these gasses can trap heat but there are still some uncertainties on how the earth reacts to it. What they do know is that the earth needs to stay temperate enough to support life but that humans are speeding up the process. Don't let anything stand in the way between you and your success with going green and energy conservation. Think about how much you could change your life and help the Earth if you really applied the strategies in this book. You could be a success in going green in a short period of time.
