  • Use of Proxies in Paleoceanography

    Examples from the South Atlantic

    Edited by Gerhard Fischer, Gerold Wefer ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Paleoceanographic proxies provide infonnation for reconstructions of the past, including climate changes, global and regional oceanography, and the cycles of biochemical components in the ocean. These prox ies are measurable descriptors for desired but unobservable environmental variables such as tempera ture, salinity, primary productivity, nutrient content, or surface-water carbon dioxide ...

  • Land Use, Nature Conservation and the Stability of Rainforest Margins in Southeast Asia

    Edited by Gerhard Gerold, Michael Fremerey, Edi Guhardja ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Southeast Asia constitutes one of the world's most extended rainforest regions. It is characterized by a high degree of biodiversity and contains a large variety of endemic species. Moreover, these forests provide a number of important and sin gular ecosystem services, like erosion protection and provision of high quality wa ter, which cannot be replaced by alternative ecosystems. However, various ... Read more

  • Ocean Biogeochemistry

    The Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change

    Edited by Michael J.R. Fasham ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped from the ocean's surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This ... Read more

  • Orogenesis

    The Making of Mountains

    by Michael R. W. Johnson, Simon L. Harley ...
    Orogenesis, the process of mountain building, occurs when two tectonic plates collide – either forcing material upwards to form mountain belts such as the Alps or Himalayas or causing one plate to be subducted below the other, resulting in volcanic mountain chains such as the Andes. Integrating the approaches of structural geology and metamorphism, this book provides an up-to-date overview of ... Read more

  • Sensitivity of Mangrove Ecosystem to Changing Climate

    by Abhijit Mitra ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Mangroves are basically salt tolerant forest ecosystems found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical inter-tidal regions. Till about 1960s, mangroves were largely viewed as “economically unproductive areas” and were therefore destroyed for reclaiming land for various economic and commercial activities. Gradually, with the passage of time, the economic and ecological benefits of mangroves have become ... Read more

  • Managing Organic Matter in Tropical Soils: Scope and Limitations

    Proceedings of a Workshop organized by the Center for Development Research at the University of Bonn (ZEF Bonn) — Germany, 7–10 June, 1999

    Edited by Christopher Martius, Holm Tiessen, Paul L.G. Vlek ...
    Series Book 93 - Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences
    Soil organic matter is a reservoir for plant nutrients, provides water-holding capacity, stabilizes soil structure against compaction and erosion, and thus determines soil productivity. All agriculture to some degree depends on soil organic matter. It has long been known that soil organic matter declines when land is taken into cultivation, and that the productivity of new agricultural land is ... Read more
