Silicon and Nano-silicon in Environmental Stress Management and Crop Quality Improvement Elsevier Science & Technology

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Silicon and Nano-silicon in Environmental Stress Management and Crop Quality Improvement: Progress and Prospects provides a comprehensive overview of the latest understanding of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular basis of silicon- and nano-silicon-mediated environmental stress tolerance and crop quality improvements in plants. This volume not only covers silicon-induced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in crops, but it is also the first volume to include nano-silicon-mediated approaches to environmental stress tolerance in crops. Crops grown in field conditions are constantly exposed to various factors of abiotic and biotic stresses, which lead to reduced yield and product quality. To achieve sustainable development in agriculture and to increase agricultural production for feeding an increasing global population, it is necessary to apply ecologically compatible and environment-friendly strategies to decrease the adverse effects of stresses on the plant. Silicon has been recognized as a beneficial plant nutrient and many growers already include it in their crop fertility programs. Further, in the last decade, nanotechnology has emerged as a prominent tool for enhancing agricultural productivity, and the production and applications of nanoparticles (NPs) have greatly increased in many industries. Recent research works related to silicon-NPs-mediated abiotic and biotic stresses and nutritional improvements in plants have received considerable interest and while significant progress was made in silicon biochemistry in relation to stress tolerance, an in-depth resource on the molecular mechanisms associated with the silicon- and nano-silicon-mediated stress tolerance and biofortification in plants has been lacking. Silicon and Nano-silicon in Environmental Stress Management and Crop Quality Improvement: Progress and Prospects fills that knowledge gap, providing key insights for foundational understanding as well as inspiration for future research. This book consists of 25 chapters, each of which provides comprehensive information about the development of new stress tolerant crop varieties and biofortification, is a valuable reference resource, mostly for researchers, educators, and advanced-level students in agricultural and environmental soil and plant science. Enables development of strategies to enhance crop productivity and to better utilize natural resources to ensure future food security Focuses on silicon- and nano-silicon-mediated environmental stress tolerance Addresses the challenges of both biotic and abiotic stresses

Forest Dynamics, Growth and Yield Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The aim of this book is to improve the understanding of forest dynamics and the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. How do tree crowns, trees or entire forest stands respond to thinning in the long term? What effect do tree species mixtures and multi-layering have on the productivity and stability of trees, stands or forest enterprises? How do tree and stand growth respond to stress factors such as climate change or air pollution? Furthermore, in the event that one has acquired knowledge about the effects of thinning, mixture and stress, how can one make that knowledge applicable to decision-making in forestry practice? The experimental designs, analytical methods, general relationships and models for answering questions of this kind are the focus of this book. Given the structures dealt with, which range from plant organs to the tree, stand and enterprise levels, and the processes analysed in a time frame of days or months to decades or even centuries, this book is directed at all readers interested in trees, forest stands and forest ecosystems. This work has been compiled for students, scientists, lecturers, forest planners, forest managers, and consultants.Endorsements: This book is the long expected summary of today s knowledge of forest growth and yield science. Comprising methods of growth and yield studies, growth and yield theories including their most recent developments, and examples, based on a plenty of long term experiments, this is not only an important textbook for students but as well a must for everybody dealing with or at least interested in forest growth and yield science. Hubert Sterba, BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria "Forest Dynamics, Growth and Yield" is an excellent treatise focusing on the complex and variable forest ecosystems in central Europe. Following on the success of his earlier works in the German language, Hans Pretzsch once again provides a highly readable and informative English textbook forstudents, scientists and practitioners alike. An impressive contribution to the international literature on domesticated ecosystems. Klaus von Gadow, Faculty of Forestry and Forest Ecology, University of Göttingen Forest Dynamics, Growth and Yield is one of the most significant texts on forest modelling and forest production research of our time. It is based on the rich source of experience from science and forestry practice in Central Europe and provides an excellent and comprehensive overview of forest production principles and contemporary modelling approaches. The book is an essential reference for students as well as research scientists. Jens Peter Skovsgaard, Professor of Silviculture and IUFRO Board Member, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences A tour de force of forest growth and yield by one of the world s leading growth and yield experts from the country that developed this branch of forest science. The history, production ecology, field study methodology and modelling of this fundamental aspect of forest management are presented in a densely illustrated and easy to read treatise. Empirically-based traditional approaches are linked to population ecology, but considered at the ecosystem level, recognizing the key roles of biological legacies, disturbance and the physical environmental determinants of tree growth and stand development. The linkage of traditional long term field trials and ecosystem-level modelling reflects the current trend in growth and yield science. This is a must read for silviculturists, environmentalists and all others interested in sustainable management of forests for multiple values. J. P.

Kuhls of Kangra University of Washington Press

Inne 1

In the Kangra Valley of India's western Himalaya, farmers have for centuries relied on community-managed kuhl systems--intricate networks of collectively built and maintained irrigation channels--for their rice and wheat farming. Over the years, earthquakes and floods have repeatedly destroyed villagers' kuhls. More recently, increasing nonfarm employment has drawn labor away from kuhl maintenance and from farming itself. Prevailing theories of common property resource management suggest that such conditions should cause the kuhls to die out; instead, most have been transformed and remain alive and well.In this book, Mark Baker offers a comprehensive explanation for the durability of the kuhls of Kangra in the face of recurring environmental shocks and socioeconomic change. In addition to describing how farmers use and organize the kuhls, he employs varied lines of theory and empirical data to account for the persistence of most kuhls (and the demise of a few) in the late twentieth century. Into his explanatory framework he incorporates the history of regional politics and economics as they affected kuhls during the precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial periods; the role of state involvement in kuhl construction and management; the benefits of exchanges of labor and water among members of networked kuhls; and the ways in which kuhl systems are embedded in and reproduce core cultural beliefs and practices.Scholars interested in common property resource regimes have long focused on self-organizing, community-based irrigation systems. Yet their theories cannot entirely account for the durability of common property regimes under the extreme conditions of ecological stress, economic change, and social differentiation that exist in Kangra. Baker adds new dimensions to such theories by reaching beyond them to incorporate "exogenous" factors such as the roles statemaking practices play in common property resource regimes, the importance of networks in buffering individual resource regimes from environmental stress, and the ways in which regimes are sites for reproducing and occasionally contesting the relations that constitute place and region. In doing so, he advances a new way of thinking about community-based systems of resource management--a timely subject given recent trends in many countries toward the devolution of authority over natural resource management from government to rural communities.* A fascinating study of a community-based irrigation system in the western Himalaya
