Advanced Modelling Techniques Studying Global Changes in Environmental Sciences discusses the need for immediate and effective action, guided by a scientific understanding of ecosystem function, to alleviate current pressures on the environment. Research, especially in Ecological Modeling, is crucial to support the sustainable development paradigm, in which the economy, society, and the environment are integrated and positively reinforce each other. Content from this book is drawn from the 2013 conference of the International Society for Ecological Modeling (ISEM), an important and active research community contributing to this arena. Some progress towards gaining a better understanding of the processes of global change has been achieved, but much more is needed. This conference provides a forum to present current research using models to investigate actions towards mitigating and adapting to change. - Presents state-of-the-art modeling techniques - Drawn from the 2013 conference of the International Society for Ecological Modeling (ISEM), an important and active research community contributing to this arena - Integrates knowledge of advanced modeling techniques in ecological and environmental sciences - Describes new applications for sustainability

Wetlands occur expansively all over the world in all the climatic zones, exhibit enormous diversity according to their genesis, geographical location, water regime and chemistry, dominant plants and sediment characters; providing food, fiber and raw materials, storm and flood control, clean water supply, scenic beauty and educational and recreational benefits. Besides, biotic-abiotic components and human inhabitants, the subsistence of these unique natural resources is under intimidation due to developmental activities, population pressure and anthropogenic stress; calls for a long term planning for preservation and conservation of these resources. The present book “Wetland Monitoring: A Practical Approach towards Eutrophication” focuses on abiotic components (hydrochemistry and geochemistry), biotic components (phytoplankton, zooplankton, aquatic macrophytes), biochemical profiling, degree of eutrophication, delineation of trophodynamics, metal accumulation, concentration, transport, and mobility of metals, and environmental modeling of significant wetlands of Central Gujarat, India. This book would certainly be useful and handy tool for students, academicians, researchers, scientists, practitioners and wetland managers at regional, national and global scale.

Water has become one of the potential targets of terrorists. This volume addresses the basic scientific concepts that must be integrated by decision-makers to minimize damages and optimize recovery operations in the aftermath of such an attack. It addresses the multidisciplinary approaches for rapid diagnoses and assessments, and offers a step-by-step treatment of all aspects of ecosystem processes, modelling and monitoring.

Expanding the risk assessment toolbox, this book provides a comprehensive and practical evaluation of specific ecological models for potential use in risk assessment. Ecological Modeling in Risk Assessment: Chemical Effects on Populations, Ecosystems, and Landscapes goes beyond current risk assessment practices for toxic chemicals as applied to individual-organism endpoints to describe ecological effects models useful at the population, ecosystem, and landscape levels. The authors demonstrate the utility of a set of ecological effects models, eventually improving the ecological relevance of risk assessments and making data collection more cost effective.
