Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Completely revised and updated throughout, this new edition of Improving Animal Welfare: A Practical Approach continues to provide an accessible and comprehensive guide to improving the lives of production animals. It particularly considers advances in topics of increasing importance such as…heat stress and other climate-related issues, system-specific considerations around organic farming, measuring the true sustainability of farming systems, and how to successfully transfer rapidly developing technologies from research to field. It also covers: Core concepts of animal welfare, such as handling and transport, stockmanship, husbandry procedures and euthanasia, with an increased focus on replacing painful procedures with alternatives. The wider context of welfare, including animal behaviour and emotions, ethics and economic factors. Implementing effective measurement techniques to track and improve welfare, as well auditing procedures. Practical species-specific information across cattle, pigs, poultry, fish and equids. Written by a team of experienced researchers and edited by an outstanding world expert on animal welfare, this book is essential reading for students and practitioners of ethology, animal and veterinary science, veterinary medicine, as well as anyone working directly with farm animals and committed to improving their welfare.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a comprehensive examination of the mechanisms through which invasive plant species alter soil fauna biodiversity, nutrient cycling and overall ecosystem balance. It presents detailed case studies of key invasive plants (Asclepias syriaca, Fallopia japonica, Heracleum mantegazzianum,… H. sosnowskyi, Impatiens parviflora, etc.) complemented by broader discussions on soil fauna diversity and ecosystem functioning.It considers how these plant species modify the physico-chemical properties of soil, often creating inhospitable environments for native soil fauna. It highlights the responses of various soil organisms, including nematodes, collembola, earthworms, arthropods and others, and microorganisms to plant invasion. Special attention is given to feedback mechanisms whereby changes in soil fauna communities further influence plant invasions, either exacerbating or mitigating their impacts. The implications of these interactions for soil health and agricultural productivity is considered, providing practical recommendations for the management of invasive species and the restoration of degraded ecosystems.Key features: Provides comprehensive analysis and case studies on invasive species and soil ecosystems, offering valuable insights for future research. Offers a detailed exploration of invasive plant effects on soil chemistry and microbiota, relevant for those studying soil health.Includes practical recommendations for managing invasive species in agricultural contexts, aiding in soil fertility and crop production. Supports efforts to restore native soil fauna and plant communities, contributing to biodiversity preservation. Serves as a resource for coursework and research projects, providing a thorough grounding in soil fauna and invasive plants. This book is ideal for researchers, practitioners and students in the fields of ecology, environmental science, and soil biology.
