  • Cryosols

    Permafrost-Affected Soils

    Edited by John Kimble ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Cryosols occupy a unique part of the earth and have properties greatly different from other soils. They also occur where the greatest impact of global warming is predicted. They have been studied extensively in Russia, Canada and in other regions. This is, however, the first book which brings together experts from all fields in order to focus on these unique soils. It will undoubtedly provide one ... Read more

  • Climate Change - Environment and Civilization in the Middle East

    by Arie S. Issar, Mattanyah Zohar ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    We live in an early stage of an interglacial period, which began some fifteen thousand years ago - a warming trend which, with the extreme ups and downs, is . still gaining momentum. There is little doubt that, sometime in the foreseeable future, the global climate will inexorably become much warmer l and many regions, such as the Near East, will become much drier. We even accelerate this process ... Read more

  • Earth History and Palaeogeography

    by Trond H. Torsvik, L. Robin M. Cocks ...
    Using full-colour palaeogeographical maps from the Cambrian to the present, this interdisciplinary volume explains how plate motions and surface volcanism are linked to processes in the Earth's mantle, and to climate change and the evolution of the Earth's biota. These new and very detailed maps provide a complete and integrated Phanerozoic story of palaeogeography. They illustrate the development ... Read more

  • Coastline Changes of the Baltic Sea from South to East

    Past and Future Projection

    Edited by Jan Harff, Kazimierz Furmańczyk, Hans von Storch ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book discusses sea-level and coastline changes. These topics are becoming increasingly important for populations living along the edge of the world’s oceans and seas, especially in areas where eustatic sea-level rise is superimposed on isostatic subsidence and storm-induced coastal erosion. This is the case at the southern and eastern Baltic Sea coast: in the south, glacio-isostatic ... Read more

  • Carbon Sequestration in Urban Ecosystems

    Edited by Rattan Lal, Bruce Augustin ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Urbanization drastically alters the ecosystems structure and functions, disrupts cycling of C and other elements along with water. It alters the energy balance and influences climate at local, regional and global scales. In 2008, urban population exceeded the rural population. In 2050, 70% of the world population will live in urban centers. The number of megacities (10 million inhabitants) ... Read more

  • Arsenic & Rice

    by Andrew A. Meharg, Fang-Jie Zhao ...
    Rice is the staple food for half of the world’s population. Consumption of rice is the major exposure route globally to the class one, non-threshold carcinogen inorganic arsenic. This book explains the sources of arsenic to paddy soils and the biogeochemical processes and plant physiological attributes of paddy soil-rice ecosystems that lead to high concentrations of arsenic in rice grain. It ... Read more
