Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a scientific analysis of the complex claims surrounding the conservation status of big-leaf mahogany. With the tree listed as endangered and trade restricted under Appendix II of CITES, the author uses data and research to assess the accuracy of these claims. The analysis covers topics including the spread and resilience of the species, its susceptibility to pests and disease, and the impact of deforestation on its populations. Ultimately, the book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of big-leaf mahogany and its place in the ecosystem, challenging assumptions and offering a clear path forward for conservation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Minor edge and corner wear, lightly scuffed and scratched, some light shelf wear, ex-library with the usual library markings, overall a clean used first edition! Very very rare and hard-to-find title! Yellow and black wrappers with black lettering. 353 informative and educational pages nicely enhanced by black and white illustrations, diagrams, and charts! Extremely scarce and out-of-print! "Just a decade ago ecology was a foreign word to most people. Today, due to the writings of Rachel Carson, Paul Ehrlich, Barry Commoner, and others, or perhaps due to the combined and sudden effects of a series of environmental degradations, ecology is a household word and has been proclaimed as an issue of the 70's. The proliferation of articles and opinions of self-appointed ecologists and groups of sincere but ill-informed citizens has created an image of ecology and ecologists which is not appealing to many of us. Many now ask: What is ecology? Are there any mutually dependent interrelationships between man and natural ecosystems? What does ecology have to offer to our great civilization? Are ecologists against progress? Must we return to the jungle? This collection of papers has been selected and arranged to offer our answers to these and other questions related to ecology, ecological systems, and man." ---- from the Preface.…

Condizione: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This Special Issue looks forward as well as backward to best analyze the forest conservation challenges of the Caribbean. This is made possible by 75 years of research and applications by the United States Department of Agriculture, International Institute of Tropical Forestry (the Institute) of Puerto Rico. It transforms Holocene-based scientific paradigms of the tropics into Anthropocene applications and outlooks of wilderness, managed forests, and urban environments. This volume showcases how the focus of the Institute's programs is evolving to support sustainable tropical forest conservation despite uncertain conditions. The manuscripts showcased here highlight the importance of shared stewardship and a long-term, hands-on approach to conservation, research programs, and novel organizations intended to meet contemporary conservation challenges. Policies relevant to the Anthropocene, as well as the use of experiments to anticipate future responses of tropical forests to global warming, are reexamined in these pages. Urban topics include how cities can co-produce new knowledge to spark sustainable and resilient transformations. Long-term results and research applications of topics such as soil biota, migratory birds, tropical vegetation, substrate chemistry, and the tropical carbon cycle are also described in the volume. Moreover, the question of how to best use land on a tropical island is addressed. This volume is intended to be of interest to all actors involved in long-term sustainable forest management and research in light of the historical lessons and future directions that may come out of a better understanding of tropical cities and forests in the Anthropocene epoch.…

Condizione: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book deals with the immediate effects of, and response to, Hurricane María on the social, ecological, and technological systems (SETS) of Puerto Rico. The SETS approach to analyzing hurricane effects places into historical context the role of social and technological factors, and compares social and ecological resilience on the same temporal scales. Written from the perspective of a Puerto Rican scientist who experienced Maria's wrath first-hand, the book uses extensive empirical knowledge of the ecological effects of hurricanes on Caribbean forests and combines that knowledge with a detailed analysis of the effects of Hurricane María on the social and technological fabric of Puerto Rico.The comparison suggests that the effects of extreme events are dictated not only by the strength of the physical event, but also by the conditions of affected SETS at the time when the event exerts influence over them. Moreover, SETS have historical legacies that influence howresilient they can be when affected by an extreme event. Therefore, preparation and response to extreme events require an integrated social, ecological, and technological effort, known as the SETS response. The SETS response requires an understanding of the energetics of extreme events and their effects on the economy, which in turn determines social and technological resilience. Hurricane María demonstrated that the social and technological systems of Puerto Rico were not adapted to dealing with extreme events, in contrast with the ecological systems, which were. Hurricane Maríäs effect on Puerto Rico can be used as an example from which valuable lessons emerge for making SETS more adaptable and resilient to extreme events.…
