Forman, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1995 Importance : 632 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-47980-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Environmental policy  Landscape ecology  Human ecology  Écologie du paysage  Politique de l'environnement  Écologie humaine Résumé : Animals, plants, water, wind, materials and people flow at different rates, according to spatial patterns common to almost all landscapes and regions. This up-to-date synthesis explores the ecology of heterogeneous land areas, where natural processes and human activities spatially interact, to produce an ever changing mosaic. The subject has great relevance to today's society, and this book reflects the breadth of its importance; there are many ideas and applications for planning, conservation, design, management, sustainability and policy. Spatial solutions are provided for society's land-use objectives. An appealing book, with a highly-readable text on this major emerging field. Students and professionals alike will be drawn by the attractive and informative illustrations, the conceptual synthesis, the wide international perspective and the range of topics and research covered.

Towns, Ecology, and the Land / Richard T.T. Forman

Public ISBD Aucun avis sur cette notice. Titre : Towns, Ecology, and the Land Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Richard T.T. Forman, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 1 vol.(585 p.) Présentation : ill., couv. ill. en coul. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-18306-2 Prix : 48 Note générale : Biblio :p.513-567 Index Langues : Français (fre) Tags : écologie  conservation de la nature  gestion des ressources naturelles  écologie du paysage Résumé : Towns and villages are sometimes viewed as minor, even quaint, spots, whereas this book boldly reconceptualizes these places as important dynamic environmental 'hotspots'. Multitudes of towns and villages with nearly half the world's population characterize perhaps half the global land surface. The book's pages feature ecological patterns, processes, and change, as well as human dimensions, both within towns and in strong connections and effects on surrounding agricultural land, forest land, and arid land. Towns, small to large, and villages are examined with spatial and cultural lenses. Ecological dimensions - water, soil and air systems, together with habitats, plants, wildlife and biodiversity - are highlighted. A concluding section presents concepts for making better towns and better land. From a pioneer in both landscape ecology and urban ecology, this highly international town ecology book opens an important frontier for researchers, students, professors, and professionals including environmental, town, and conservation planners.
