Agroforestry and biodiversity conservation in tropical landscapes / Götz Schroth (2004)

Public ISBD Titre : Agroforestry and biodiversity conservation in tropical landscapes Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Götz Schroth Editeur : Washington (DC) : Island Press Année de publication : 2004 Importance : 523 p. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55963-357-4 Prix : 46,51 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Thesagri] aménagement forestier [Thesagri] biodiversité [Thesagri] culture tropicale [Thesagri] déboisement [Thesagri] étude de cas [Thesagri] société rurale Note de contenu : Agroforestry -- the practice of integrating trees and other large woody perennials on farms and throughout the agricultural landscape -- is increasingly recognized as a useful and promising strategy that diversifies production for greater social, economic, and environmental benefits. Agroforestry and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Landscapes brings together 46 scientists and practitioners from 13 countries with decades of field experience in tropical regions to explore how agroforestry practices can help promote biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes, to synthesize the current state of knowledge in the field, and to identify areas where further research is needed. Agroforestry and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Landscapes is the first comprehensive synthesis of the role of agroforestry systems in conserving biodiversity in tropical landscapes, and contains in-depth review chapters of most agroforestry systems, with examples from many different countries. It is a valuable source of information for scientists, researchers, professors, and students in the fields of conservation biology, resource management, tropical ecology, rural development, agroforestry, and agroecology. Part I Conservation biology and landscape ecology in the tropics: a framework for agroforestry applications Part II The ecological economics of agroforestry : environmental benefits and effects on deforestation Part III The biodiversity of agroforestry systems: habitat, biological corridor and buffer for protected areas Part IV Biodiversité as burden and natural capital: interactions between agroforestry areas, natural ecosystems and rural communities in tropical land use mosaics Part V Matrix management in practice: agroforestry tools in landscape conservation Agroforestry and biodiversity conservation in tropical landscapes [Ouvrage] / Götz Schroth . - Washington (DC) : Island Press, 2004 . - 523 p. ; 23 cm.

Ecoagriculture: strategies to feed the world and save wild biodiversity / Jeffrey McNeely ; Sara Scherr (2003)

Public ISBD Titre : Ecoagriculture: strategies to feed the world and save wild biodiversity Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Jeffrey McNeely ; Sara Scherr Editeur : Washington (DC) : Island Press Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 323 p. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55963-645-2 Prix : 30,74 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Thesagri] agriculture durable [Thesagri] biodiversité [Thesagri] politique de l'environnement [Thesagri] protection de la nature [Thesagri] sol Note de contenu : Although food production systems for the world's rural poor typically have had devastating effects on the planet's wealth of genes, species and ecosystems, that need not be the case in the future. In this work, two experts on conservation and development examine the idea that agricultural landscapes can be designed more creatively to take the needs of human populations into account while also protecting, or even enhancing, biodiversity. They present a thorough overview of the innovative concept of ecoagriculture - the management of landscapes for both the production of food and the conservation of wild biodiversity. The book: examines the global impact of agriculture on wild biodiversity; describes the challenge of reconciling biodiversity conservation and agricultural goals; outlines and discusses the ecoagriculture approach; presents diverse case studies that illustrate key strategies; and explores how policies, markets, and institutions can be re-shaped to support ecoagriculture. Part I The challenge: agricultural intensification, rural poverty and biodiversity Part II The opportunity: integrating biodiversity conservation in agricultural development Part III Policy responses Ecoagriculture: strategies to feed the world and save wild biodiversity [Ouvrage] / Jeffrey McNeely ; Sara Scherr . - Washington (DC) : Island Press, 2003 . - 323 p. ; 23 cm.

Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-55963-363-5 Prix : 36,18 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Thesagri] culture tropicale [Thesagri] eau [Thesagri] écologie [Thesagri] environnement [Thesagri] lutte biologique [Thesagri] pollution de l'eau [Thesagri] risque Index. décimale : IB-0 Généralités Note de contenu : Invasive alien species are among today's most daunting environmental threats, costing billions of dollars in economic damages and wreaking havoc on ecosystems around the world. In 1997, a consortium of scientific organizations including SCOPE, IUCN, and CABI developed the Global Invasive Species. Programme (GISP) with the explicit objective of providing new tools for understanding and coping with invasive alien species. Invasive Alien Species is the final report of GISP's first phase of operation, 1997-2000, in which authorities from more than thirty countries worked to examine invasions as a worldwide environmental hazard. The book brings together the world's leading scientists and researchers involved with invasive alien species to offer a comprehensive summary and synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the subject. Invasive alien species represent a critical threat to natural ecosystems and native biodiversity, as well as to human economic vitality and health. The knowledge gained to date in understanding and combating invasive alien species can form a useful basis on which to build strategies for controlling or minimizing the effects in the future. Invasive Alien Species is an essential reference for the international community of investigators concerned with biological invasions.
