About the Book

As regions throughout the world face increasing ecological problems, the importance of developing scientific methods for sustainable development and of producing effective tools for the measurement and control of processes continues to grow. The tasks facing ecologists now require the collaboration of scientists, engineers, economists and other professionals such as those participating in the Second International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development (ECOSUD II) which took place in 1999. Featuring edited versions of the papers presented at ECOSUD II, this book covers the following topics: Application of Ecological Models in Environmental Management; Biodiversity; Climate Modelling and Ecosystems; Integrated Modelling; Environmental Risk; Sustainable Development Aspects; Lakustrine and Wetlands Ecosystems; Forestation Issues; Computational Modelling of Natural and Human Ecosystems; Natural Resource Management.

Table of Contents:
Section 1 - Application of ecological models in environmental management: Nutrient transformation in riparian buffer zones: modelling approach; A system dynamics approach to the simulation of urban sustainability; Hierarchical structures in competitive plant communities; The evolution of agricultural land evaluation in Spain. Section 2 - Biodiversity: Plankton disturbance at Suape estuarine area - Pernambuco - Brazil after a port complex implantation; Management in northeastern Brazil: faunal biodiversity; Estuarine management in northeast Brazil: Plant biodiversity. Section 3 - Climate modelling and ecosystems; Modelling the effect of global warming on an aquatic ecosystem in central Italy; The impact caused by the introduction of a pine forest in the arthropod's fauna of a tropical savanna and its consequences. Section 4 - Integrated modelling: IFF? - An integrated framework for modelling irrigation futures in southern Australia; Evaluating consequences of agricultural policy measures in an integrated economic and environmental model system; Environmental indices design and integrated modelling: theory and application; A behavioural ecology approach to modelling decision making in combined economic and ecological systems. Section 5 - Environmental risk: Production of toxic trihalomethane in chlorinated drinking water flowing through conduit; Nitrogen flow and environmental risk in relation to agriculture in Japan; Design and experimentation of a Geographic Information System applied to an environmental risk area in the Iglesiente. Section 6 - Sustainable development aspects: Sustainable development in the 21st century: making sustainability operational; Sustainable development models for the analysis of the Province of Modena (Italy); Indigenous patterns of social networking in rural areas: An indispensable 195 mechanism for spillover effects in sustainable development; Identifying sustainable land-use by describing landscape structure. A case study in alpine and lowland agricultural landscapes of Austria; Study on the establishment of Sustainable Development performance trend indicator and information system for Taiwan-using factor analysis; Sustainable development of isolated communities and the role of solar technology: The case of ?acu?an, Santa Rosa, Mendoza, Argentina. Section 7 - Lakustrine and wetlands ecosystems: Estuarine management in northeast Brazil: the estuarine complex of Itamarac?; Assessment of the adverse environmental effects of the Zimap?n Dam, Mexico; Model derivations for nutrient diversion on lakes; Protection of wetlands from development impacts. Section 8 - Forestation issues: Silvicultural strategies in forest management to optimise yield and growth in boreal forests while minimising the risks of wind and snow damage; A computer system for prediction of risk in Mediterranean shrublands. Section 9 - Computational modelling of natural and human ecosystems: A new computational algorithm to construct mathematical models; Linguistic entropy of an ecological model; Sustainable building on the WWW; An introduction to coding theory of flow equations in ecological models; The SAMSARA effect: a Brownian motion of coefficients of determination in Ecological Models. Section 10 - Natural resource management: Improving the management of large protected wetlands: Learning the lessons from the Do?ana nature reserves; Rational use of energy for urban transportation in Brazil; Ecosystem management: a holistic approach to the management of the natural resources.
