Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The new series, Advances in Bioclimatology provides authorative reviews on the latest developments in all research areas concerned with the effects of climatic factors on living organisms - be they plants, animals or humans. The emphasis is clearly laid on the mechanisms - rather than on the statistical relationships - linking biological processes with their physical environments. The following topics are covered in the first volume: - Deforestation, revegetation, water balance and climate; - Interaction of CO2 with growth limiting environmental factors in vegetation productivity; - Radiative transfer in nonhomogenous plant canopies; - Techniques to measure CO2 flux densities from surface and airborne sensors. Future volumes will include reviews of frost, its occurrence, impact and prevention (Vol. 2); laser remote sensing of vegetation; global monitoring of forests with radar; human melanoma and ultraviolet radiation; maintaining health of farm animals under adverse conditions. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume contains reviews on five different aspects of bioclimatology: (1) The establishment, maintenance and use of data from automatic weather station networks for agricultural purposes; (2) Techniques for estimating global and ultraviolet irradiance at the earth's surface, and the net radiation balance from operational satellite observations; (3) Mathematical models of the effects of climate on energy and mass balance in crop production; (4) Paleoecological and experimental studies of the response of stomatal density to changes in the atmospheric CO2 concentrations; and (5) The sensory and behavioral responses of insects and other invertebrates to small CO2 gradients resulting from plant and animal metabolism, considering the global changes in CO2 concentration and air temperature.…
