Spektrum Akademischer Verlag, Auflage: 3.. Auflage: 3.. Hardcover. 24,7 x 18 x 4 cm. Die 3. Auflage des Bandes 2 der "Ökologie der Erde" enthält neben den Feuchttropen auch die Savannen und die Wüstengebiete der Erde. Die Üppigkeit der natürlichen Urwaldvegetation täuscht eine Fruchtbarkeit der Böden vor - tatsächlich sind sie oft sehr arm. In den Wüstengebieten mit ihren besonderen Eigenschaften müssen sich Pflanzen, Tiere und Mensch jeweils auf ihre Art und Weise besonders anpassen. Der Band ist gekennzeichnet durch reichhaltige aktuelle Photos, zahlreiche Graphiken bzw. Tabellen sowie eine intensive neue Literaturauswertung. Die einzelnen Ökosysteme wurden einheitlich gegliedert in - Klima, Böden - Produzenten, Konsumenten, Destruenten - Ökosystemprozesse - Oro- und Pedobiome - Zono-Ökotone (Übergangsräume) - Hinweisen zum Einfluss des Menschen. Das erleichtert den wissenschaftlichen Vergleich und bietet Datenmaterial, das auf der langjährigen ökologischen Forschungstätigkeit… Leer más

Captain Nicolas Baudin's early 19th-century voyage of scientific discovery to Australia is a little-known event in French and Australian history. Yet that voyage played an important part in the history of Australian and Pacific colonization, and in the long story of worldwide scientific exploration. Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the Géographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists. For most of the next three-and-a half years they travelled along the western and southern coasts of Australia, charting the coastline and… Leer más
