Natural ecosystems

This book develops the mathematical tools essential for students in the life sciences to describe interacting systems and predict their behavior. From predator-prey populations in an ecosystem, to hormone regulation within the body, the natural world abounds in dynamical systems that affect us profoundly.

Ebook "Basics of marine and estuarine ecology" is to focus the marine and estuarine ecosystem, which is one of the vital resource reservoirs of the planet Earth. These resources are not only the abiotic resources like oil, natural gas or minerals, but also encompass living resources like coastal vegetation, fishes, molluscs, arthropods and representatives of almost all the animal phyla.

Ebook "Why life matters: Fifty ecosystems of the heart and mind" examines some of the most salient opportunities before the global commons in the form of human economics and how economics is, as California Governor Jerry Brown once made abundantly clear, a sub-set of the needs of nature, not the reverse. We examine bio-economics with the goal of suggesting how socially conscious investing, impact investing and the future of business ethics hinges upon firm incorporation into the crucial sub-stratum of natural capital.

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.

Ebook "Trophic and guild interactions in biological control" origins from a symposium we organized in May 2005 at a joint meeting of the Biocontrol Network of Canada and the International Organization for Biological Control in Magog, Québec, Canada. During this symposium, we discussed concepts of direct and indirect interactions among natural enemies of herbivores in natural and agricultural ecosystems — a field of growing interest in ecology and biological control.

The dipterocarp forest is a featured ecological forest in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. However, humans and nature are disrupting the ecological balance structure of the forest. This study was conducted to evaluate the environmental efficiency of land management activities of the dipterocarp forest at Yok Don National Park by altering the dipterocarp forest ecosystem and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock for 2001–2020.
