Fully revised and updated, it includes biofuels and carbon credits with respect to tropical forests and their inhabitants, features of the forest and socio-cultural ecosystems.

This book addresses the current state of climate change predictions, and how climate change will affect conservation and use of crop germplasm, both ex situ and in situ. Examples of germplasm research related to 'climate change threats' are also highlighted.

This 3rd edition highlights many advances in the field of seed ecology and its relationship to plant community dynamics over recent years. It features chapters on seed development and morphology, seed chemical ecology, implications of climate change on regeneration, and the functional role of seed banks in agricultural and natural ecosystems.

This book distils the major themes of current debate into one volume edited by international experts. Issues covered include tail docking, pet obesity, isolation vs. group aggression, neutering feral cats and the need to conserve wildlife habitats in the face of wild animal overpopulation.

This book provides a cutting edge review of the multi-disciplinary sciences related to studies of global forest fragmentation. It specifically addresses cross-cutting themes from both an ecological and a social sciences perspective.

This textbook covers more than 100 of the most common pig diseases. With each presented as a case study, the book uses full colour photos and a question and answer format to enable students to recognise the key features of each disease, identify the problem and suggest a course of action.

Illustrated with colour photos, this practical book provides an updated resource for the identification of bacteria which can be found in animals inhabiting the aquatic environment. This title also contains expanded biochemical identification tables.

This book reviews the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of tolerance of abiotic stresses in nature. Covering increasing temperature, flooding, drought, salinity, and heavy metals and ozone, it discusses how these abiotic stresses can be managed in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way by microbes through their alleviation mechanisms.

This book covers genetic components in cattle production such as breeds, disease resistance, growth, development, behaviour, body composition and meat quality. This new edition includes updated material and new chapters on genetics of fat production, nutrition, feed intake and efficiency, growth and body composition and genomic selection.

This book covers seizure pathogenesis, classifications, diagnostic investigations, emergency and long term treatments, and pharmacological intervention. It includes tables and charts for quick reference, a colour illustration section (with extra colour images in the eBook) and provides case studies to illustrate different occurrences of epilepsy.

This area of tourism research and development is referred to as destination marketing systems (DMSs) and brings together applied and academic interests ranging from marketing and management to psychology, mathematics and computer sciences. This is a comprehensive synthesis of current research, featuring contributions from leading researchers.

A practically-oriented book, this text covers how viruses work and interact with plants as well as how they induce disease and spread in the field, how virus epidemics can be studied, losses and spread measured and monitored, and control options implemented.

Containing an extensive range of photographs and authored by leading horticultural experts, this title is an indispensable reference work for horticultural professionals, academics, students, crop producers and amateur horticulturists. The diseases of major crops are presented by classification, symptoms, causal pathogen and control measures.

This book covers male reproductive biology, discussing the essentials of sperm production, harvest and preservation before covering the applications to a range of animals including cattle, horses, pigs, cats and dogs, poultry and exotic species. It also examines the laboratory procedures that provide the basis of general fertility research.

This book provides a unique, complete coverage of current information on nutrient requirements, feed formulations and feeding practices of commercially important aquaculture species cultured around the world.

Trichoderma spp. are biotechnologically significant fungi widely used in agriculture and industry, and a potential drug source of clinical importance. In recent years, research on these fungi have opened new avenues for its varied applications. This book is an essential ready reference work for researchers, students and people from industry.

This introductory textbook sets world forestry in a social, environmental, historical, and economic context. Fully updated throughout and with new contributions from international experts, this second edition includes new chapters on climate change and international forest policy, and expanded coverage of forest products and bioenergy production.

An updated edition with current information on plant-parasitic nematodes, divided into three sections: taxonomy and principal genera, nematode biology and plant response, and sampling and management strategies.

In the last two decades, the science and practice of rodent control has faced new legislation on rodenticides, the pests' increasing resistance to chemical control and the impact on non-target species. This updated 2nd edition is therefore a key read for researchers, conservationists, practitioners and public health specialists within pest control.

A cohesive state-of-the-art review of the invasive potential of bioenergy crops, this book covers the identified risks of invasion, distributions of key crops and management issues. Including a section on developing predictive models, this book also assesses the potential societal impact of bioenergy crops and how to mitigate invasive risks.

This book addresses the practices of consumption in tourism, a major theme in the sociology of tourism. To date, most tourism analysis has tended to concentrate on the production of tourist space, and assume that tourism consumption simply mirrors the intentions of the producers.

Based on proceedings of a conference to mark the retirement of Professor Paul Jarvis from the University of Edinburgh, the book contains contributions from leading international scientists. It will be of significant interest to researchers in forestry, ecology, environmental sciences and natural resources.

This book has been developed from a report of the cross-national 'PRIDE' (Partnerships for Rural Integrated Development in Europe) research project.
