Sobre IBD

Scientists and ecologists from across the globe are striving to asses and evaluate the damage caused to earth’s ecosystems and environment because of human interference. This book highlights the importance of maintaining equilibrium in the human-environment interaction. Different approaches, evaluations, and advanced studies on ecological protection have been included in this book along with topics such as impact of climate change, waste management, conservation and management of water resources, etc. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and significance of the subject.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

  • Climate Change
    Andrew Hyman
    One of the major problems our world faces in the present times is climate change. A rise in the global temperature has been followed by visible changes in the weather and climate. It has been caused by natural factors such as, changes in solar radiation and volcanic eruptions and also by anthropogenic factors such as population growth, industrialization, land use, accumulation ...
