Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Silvicultura BiologÃa de la Conservación Agricultura Propiedad cultural Patrimonio cultural Clasificación: 634.9 Resumen: Comprender el estado actual y la dinámica de cualquier bosque es imposible sin reconocer su historia. El Bosque Primigenio de BiaÅ‚owieża (BPF), ubicado en la frontera entre Polonia y Bielorrusia, es uno de los bosques de tierras bajas europeos mejor conservados y es objeto de innumerables trabajos centrados en innumerables aspectos de su biologÃa, ecologÃa y gestión. Después de algunos siglos (XIV-XVIII) de protección como bosque real y reserva de caza de los reyes polacos y los grandes duques lituanos, el bosque cayó bajo el dominio del Estado ruso y más tarde (desde 1888) - bajo propiedad personal de los zares rusos. Durante el largo siglo XIX, muchas de las formas "antiguas" de utilización multifuncional del bosque (producción de heno, apicultura, pastoreo de ganado, etc.) sufrieron cambios de acuerdo con las exigencias de la nueva administración y los principios de la silvicultura "racional". . Fueron sometidos a un control más estricto o incluso prohibidos. Sin embargo, los intentos de introducir una silvicultura "racional" en el último refugio del bisonte europeo se toparon con numerosos obstáculos. Todo el largo siglo XIX (en este caso 1795-1915) en la historia de BPF es una historia de lucha entre el uso "tradicional", las nuevas tendencias administrativas en el manejo de bosques y caza y la creciente percepción del bosque primitivo o prÃstino. El libro muestra los antecedentes históricos y el resultado de esta lucha: la historia de BPF en el largo siglo XIX centrándose en el seguimiento de todas las huellas culturales, tanto materiales (paisajes culturales, especies exóticas introducidas, procesos inducidos por el hombre) como inmateriales (conocimientos tradicionales de los bosques y uso de los recursos forestales, la importancia polÃtica y cultural del bosque, la investigación cientÃfica) que dieron forma al estado y la imagen de uno de los últimos bosques verdaderamente salvajes de Europa.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Understanding the current state and dynamics of any forest is impossible without recognizing its history. BiaÅ‚owieża Primeval Forest (BPF), located on the border between Poland and Belarus, is one of the best preserved European lowland forests and a subject of myriads of works focusing on countless aspects of its biology, ecology, and management. After few centuries (14th-18th) of protection as a royal forest and game reserve of Polish kings and Lithuanian grand dukes, the forest fell under the rule of Russian state and later (since 1888) - under personal ownership of Russian tsars. During the long 19th century many of "older" ways of multi-functional utilisation of the forest (haymaking, bee-keeping, cattle pasturing, etc.) underwent changes in accordance with the requirements of the new administration and principles of "rational" forestry. They were put under tighter control, or even fell under the ban. However, attempts at introducing the "rational" forestry in the last refugium ofEuropean bison were hindered by numerous obstacles. The entire long 19th century (in this case 1795-1915) in the history of BPF is a story of struggle between "traditional" use, new administrative trends in forest and game management and the rising perception of the primeval or pristine forest. The book shows the historical background and the outcome of this struggle: BPF's history in the long 19th century focusing on tracking all cultural imprints, both material (cultural landscapes, introduced alien species, human-induced processes) and immaterial(traditional knowledge of forest and use of forest resources, the political and cultural significance of the forest, scientific research) that shaped the state and picture of one of the last truly wild forests of Europe.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Ciencias de la vida Ambiente ClimatologÃa Ciencias ambientales Ciencias del clima Clasificación: 570 Resumen: Este libro aborda cuestiones crÃticas de la ecologÃa y los ecosistemas cambiantes como consecuencia de la urbanización, la globalización, el cambio climático y las influencias culturales humanas. Los cambios climáticos naturales e inducidos por el hombre y la globalización aceleran la hibridación; influencias antropogénicas que causan perturbaciones, enriquecimiento de nutrientes, reemplazo de hábitat (formación y destrucción) y dispersión global de especies. Los procesos ecológicos que impulsan los cambios son mecanismos "naturales" de sucesiones y cambios ecológicos, y de hibridación o adaptación de especies y ecosistemas. Hoy en dÃa, las especies se mezclan a un ritmo sin precedentes en la historia de la evolución de la biodiversidad; Con el ''Antropoceno'', la última gran época evolutiva, la naturaleza se adapta a un nuevo lienzo y a un modelo cambiado. La consecuencia dramática y en gran medida no reconocida es la hibridación tanto de especies como de ecologÃa. Si bien este proceso se observa y reconoce más fácilmente en entornos urbanos en crecimiento, ocurre más ampliamente en paisajes forestales y agrÃcolas. Con las nuevas condiciones ambientales forjadas, plantas, animales y hongos se mueven y mezclan, más allá de las distribuciones y lÃmites naturales; Lo viejo y lo nuevo, lo nativo y lo exótico, entrelazados en comunidades recombinantes y ecosistemas hÃbridos. AquÃ, y especialmente en los centros urbanos en rápida expansión de esta nueva ecologÃa, nativos y alienÃgenas se disputan posiciones formando nuevas interacciones y dependencias. Este nuevo y desafiante enfoque para comprender los sistemas ecológicos, especialmente en áreas urbanas y urbanizadas, sintetiza las ideas actuales. El libro desarrolla un contexto histórico de la fusión ecológica y los ecosistemas recombinantes o hÃbridos. Las especies invasoras y no autóctonas o exóticas se propagan, a menudo de forma agresiva, por todo el mundo. El pensamiento actual en ecologÃa y conservación de la naturaleza no logra tener en cuenta las consecuencias de las condiciones ambientales cambiantes y la fusión de especies y comunidades ecológicas. La urbanización y la globalización se combinan con el clima y otros cambios para desencadenar nuevas comunidades y ecologÃas hÃbridas. Incorporando este enfoque al pensamiento ecológico actual, este libro presenta una visión general de las ideas establecidas en el área de estudio de caso ejemplar de las Islas Británicas. Sin embargo, los enfoques, ideas y conclusiones encontrarán aplicación en estudios de ecosistemas y en la conservación de la naturaleza en todo el mundo. Nota de contenido: 1. An introduction to the concept of recombinant ecology -- 2. An historical perspective of ecological hybridisation -- 3. The impacts of urbanisation -- 4. The impacts of globalisation & cultural severance -- 5. Climate change & ecological hybridisation -- 6. Future nature & the consequences of recombination. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book addresses critical issues of changing ecology and ecosystems consequent on urbanisation, globalisation, climate change, and human cultural influences. Human-induced and natural climate changes and globalisation accelerate hybridisation; anthropogenic influences causing disturbance, nutrient enrichment, habitat replacement (formation and destruction), and global dispersal of species. The ecological processes driving changes are 'natural' mechanisms of ecological successions and changes, and of species and ecosystem hybridisation or adaptation. Today species mix at rates unprecedented in biodiversity evolution history; with the 'Anthropocene', the latest great evolutionary epoch, nature adapts to a new canvas and changed template. The dramatic and largely unrecognised consequence is hybridisation of both species and ecology. Whilst this process is most easily observed and recognised in increasing urban environments, it occurs more widely, in forestry and agricultural landscapes. With new environmental conditions forged plants, animals and fungi move and mix, beyond natural distributions and limits; old and new, native and exotic, enmeshed in recombinant communities and hybrid ecosystems. Here, and especially in the rapidly expanding urban heartlands of this new ecology, native and alien jostle for position forming novel interactions and dependencies. This challenging new approach to understanding ecological systems especially in urban and urbanised areas synthesises current ideas. The book develops an historic context to ecological fusion and recombinant or hybrid ecosystems. Invasive and non-native or alien species spread, often aggressively around the globe. Current thinking in ecology and nature conservation fails to accommodate the consequences of changing environmental conditions and fusion of species and ecological communities. Urbanisation and globalisation combine with climate and other changes to trigger new hybrid communities and ecologies. Embedding this approach into current ecological thinking this book presents an overview of ideas set in the exemplar case study area of the British Isles. However, the approaches, ideas and conclusions will find application in ecosystem studies and in nature conservation around the world.
