Hardcover. Condition: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: Ecology is the scientific analysis and study of interactions among organisms and their environment. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes biology and Earth science. Ecology is as much a biological science as it is a human science. Human ecology is an interdisciplinary investigation into the ecology of our species. Ecosystems are habitats within biomes that form an integrated whole and a dynamically responsive system having both physical and biological complexes. A food web is the archetypal ecological network. It is hoped that the present edition of this book will be beneficial to all concerned of the society, in general and students, lawyers, advocates, academicians, human rights institutions, researchers and NGOs working in economics/environmental studies field, in particular.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book presents recent trends in nanotechnology to manage agroforestry systems. A major focus has been given to green synthesis of nanoparticles, nutrient management, stress management, crop and tree production, and risk assessment for sustainable management of crops and trees using nanomaterials. The book also discusses the complex interactions of nanoparticles in agroforestry ecosystems. It provides an understanding of the nanoparticle transformation process from laboratory to field conditions that will help in technology transfer at a mass scale. Following the excellent contributions from global experts, the book will be very useful for students, scientists, conservationists, growers, and policymakers searching for the challenges and opportunities of nanotechnology in integrated farming systems.
