Ebook "Remote sensing of biosphere functioning (Ecological studies, Volume 79)" will rely heavily on the emerging technology of remote sensing from airborne vehicles, particularly satellites. Satellites offer the potential of continuously viewing large seg­ ments of the earth's surface, thus documenting the changes that are occur­ ring. The task, however, is not only to document global change, which will be an enormous job, but also to understand the significance of these changes to the biosphere. Effects on the biosphere may cover all spatial scales from global to local.

Ebook "Designing low carbon societies in landscapes (Ecological research monographs series)" focuses on three major means of achieving a low carbon society: conservation of the ecosystem complex, changes of arrangement of landscapes, and creation of biodiversity. There are specific countermeasures to be taken for carbon absorption in the three types of landscapes urban, cultural, and natural because their carbon balances differ. Urban landscapes are promising sites because they have the potential for greening and the creation of biodiversity.
