The present book 'Stress Agronomy' is aimed to address the past, present issues together with expected changes in soils and climate in future, The thrust is aimed to meet the challenges through evolution and adoption of new technologies in agriculture sector to facilitate the coming generations to avail a pollution free life, The information gathered here may be an eye opening for agriculturists, environmentalists, climatologists, planners and policy makers to take knowledge of present day burning issues of atmospheric, terrestrial, oceanic changes and global warming due to emission of poisonous gases on one hand and heavy metal toxicity in soil and air on the other. Hence, the scientist community and policy makers have to bring out balance between human population and their requirement without extreme exploitation of the natural resources for a sustainable eco-friendly system. If, not, global warming is a worth warning which may prove to be a global harming due to possible change in bio-planet to a non-living one. This book will serve as valuable text cum reference book to the students and researchers of agricultural universities.

    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...
