  • Processionary Moths and Climate Change : An Update

    Edited by Alain Roques ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Because of its peculiar biology, its negative impacts on forestry, and its urticating larvae affecting human and animal health, pine processionary moth has largely been studied in many European countries during the last century. However, knowledge remained scattered and no synthesis has ever been published. Since the IPCC retained the moth as one of the two insect indicators of climate change ... Read more

    Series series CABI Invasives Series
    Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito ...

  • Climate Change and Insect Pests

    by Björn C Björn C, Riita Riita, Juliana Juliana, Sanford D Sanford D, Kari Kari, Kennet Kennet, Björn Björn, Tea Tea, Seppo Seppo, Andrea Battisti, Stig Larsson, Linda Linda, Dr Matthew P Hill, Professor John S Terblanche, Alain Roques ...
    Series Book 2 - CABI Climate Change Series
    Insects, being poikilothermic, are among the organisms that are most likely to respond to changes in climate, particularly increased temperatures. Range expansions into new areas, further north and to higher elevations, are already well documented, as are physiological and phenological responses. It is anticipated that the damage to crops and forests by insects will increase as a consequence of ... Read more

  • Climate Change Biology

    by Lee Hannah ...
    Climate change biology is a new discipline, born of the recognition that human-induced climate change is resulting in wholesale shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The evidence for biological upheaval in response to climate change is immense. Migratory species are arriving earlier in the year. Flowers are blooming earlier. Ranges of plants, mammals and ...

  • Tree Pollination Under Global Climate Change

    by Fernando Ramírez, Jose Kallarackal ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This brief reviews the pollination aspects of both wild and domesticated fruit tree species in a global climate change context. It explores cross-pollination mediated by insects, vertebrates and abiotic factors, self-pollination and their global warming implications. The authors identify the link between abiotic factors such as precipitation and severe droughts in the context of tree pollination ... Read more

  • Trees in a Changing Environment

    Ecophysiology, Adaptation, and Future Survival

    Edited by Michael Tausz, Nancy Grulke ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book delivers current state-of-the-science knowledge of tree ecophysiology, with particular emphasis on adaptation to a novel future physical and chemical environment. Unlike the focus of most books on the topic, this considers air chemistry changes (O3, NOx, and N deposition) in addition to elevated CO2 effects and its secondary effects of elevated temperature. The authors have addressed two ... Read more

  • Carbon Sequestration Potential of Agroforestry Systems

    Opportunities and Challenges

    Edited by B. Mohan Kumar, P. K. Ramachandran Nair ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Tree based production systems abound especially in the tropics. Despite the pervasiveness of such multipurpose “trees-outside-forest” resources, they have not attracted adequate attention in the development paradigms of many nation states. These multispecies production systems impact the ecosystem processes favourably. Yet, our understanding of the diversity attributes and carbon dynamics under ... Read more

  • Managing Ocean Environments in a Changing Climate

    Sustainability and Economic Perspectives

    by Kevin J. Noone, Robert J. Diaz, Ussif Rashid Sumaila ...
    Managing Ocean Environments in a Changing Climate summarizes the current state of several threats to the global oceans. What distinguishes this book most from previous works is that this book begins with a holistic, global-scale focus for the first several chapters and then provides an example of how this approach can be applied on a regional scale, for the Pacific region. Previous works usually ... Read more

    Progress and Prospects

    Edited by Malcolm K. Hughes, Thomas W. Swetnam, Henry F. Diaz ...
    Series Book 11 - Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research
    A top priority in climate research is obtaining broad-extent and long-term data to support analyses of historical patterns and trends, and for model development and evaluation. Along with directly measured climate data from the present and recent past, it is important to obtain estimates of long past climate variations spanning multiple centuries and millennia. These longer time perspectives are ... Read more
