Climate smart agriculture in China: current status and future perspectives -- Chapter 11. China-Africa joint force on integrated pest and disease management (IPM) for food security - fall armyworm as a showcase.
    Abstract: The edited volume focuses on modern agro-technologies for achieving climate smart agriculture in China and meeting the UN sustainable development goals (especially SDGs 2, 13, and 15). It describes the technologies being adopted in China for meeting food security challenges, with the main focus being on soils. China is a large and diverse country, and what happens there has a global impact. In the past decades, China has achieved remarkable increases in food production, feeding nearly 20% of the world population with less than 10% of the arable land. This great achievement was mainly based on the intensive use of chemical inputs like fertilizers and pesticides, which in turn caused environmental pollution and food safety issues. China has fully realized this important issue and has adopted a “Zero Growth” policy to restrict the further increase in chemical fertilizers after 2020. Chinese scientists have developed regional optimum crop management practices and guidelines to increase crop yield and nutrient use efficiencies compared with current farming practices. Chinese agricultural soil is also currently in critical condition with severe environmental pollution. These agricultural practices need improvement to maintain sustainable food production with minimum environmental footprint. At present, the traditional mode of agricultural production in China is difficult to sustain. This book offers case studies and sustainable solutions for transforming agricultural sciences in China. The book is a useful reading material for stakeholders such as governments, policymakers, research institutions, and farmers. .

    Tourism, Cultural Heritage and Urban Regeneration : Changing Spaces in Historical Places (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Sociology, Urban. ; Human geography. ; Cultural geography. ; Tourism. ; Management. ; Urban Sociology. ; Social and Cultural Geography. ; Tourism Management.
    Description / Table of Contents: Changing spaces in historical places -- Clarksdale, Mississippi: Downtown regeneration, cultural heritage, tourism and blues music -- Beer as cultural lubricant: Brewing Tsingtao, regenerating Qingdao -- Sporting heritage and touristic transformation: Pacaembu stadium and the football museum in São Paulo, Brazil -- Old town Tallinn: Medieval built heritage amid transformation.
    Abstract: Urban regeneration is often regarded as the process of renewal or redevelopment of spaces and places. There is a need to look at tourism and urban regeneration with a particular focus on cultural heritage. Cultural heritage consists of tangible heritage (such as historic buildings) and intangible heritage (such as events). The wider need and impact for such work is that places plan for change to keep up with the shifts in demand in the global economy in order for places to maintain a competitive advantage. Moreover, places need to keep up with the pace of global change or they risk stagnation and decline as increased competition is resulting in increased opportunities and choice for consumers. Each chapter in this book explores a specific form of cultural heritage that is driving change in urban spaces. Intended for a wide readership, the book will appeal to students of urban studies, human geography, heritage studies and international tourism management, as well as experts conducting research in and across these areas.

    Growing Food in Cities : Social Innovation Strategies for Sustainable Development (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Urban ecology (Biology). ; Sustainability. ; Agriculture. ; Urban Ecology. ; Sustainability. ; Agriculture.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Social Innovation and Civil Society: the Co-production of Urban Growing Spaces -- Chapter 3. Case Studies ofSocial Innovation in Urban Growing Spaces -- Chapter 4. Cross-case Observations -- Chapter 5. Discussion and Conclusion -- Index.
    Abstract: This book examines social innovation strategies in the collaborative development of spaces for growing food in cities. It enables readers to gain valuable insights into an innovative social and spatial practice whilst advancing knowledge in an emerging area of research. The book will also be of great relevance to social activists, urban designers, planners, and decision-makers with an interest in applying this expertise to their own neighbourhoods and cities. Urban food growing spaces have multiplied in recent times. This green and inclusive urbanism creates social value for the health, wellbeing, and welfare of local inhabitants. Therefore, there is a convincing argument to investigate innovative spatial practices that can enable cities to meet the needs of an increasing population. Despite the mounting interest in collective approaches to sustainable development, limited attention has been given to the diverse ways in which this social action has been pursued. How are urban food growing spaces produced through social innovation? What are the innovative processes that can be translated in a replicable model to other cities, yet suitable for local needs, to support the development of healthier, more socially just built environments?

    Complexity in Landscape Ecology (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Landscape ecology. ; Ecology . ; System theory. ; Biodiversity. ; Environmental monitoring. ; Landscape Ecology. ; Ecology. ; Complex Systems. ; Biodiversity. ; Environmental Monitoring.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Towards a new paradigm -- 2. Complexity in ecology -- 3. Complexity in landscapes -- 4. Lessons from complexity theory -- 5. Individuals in landscapes -- 6. Populations and interactions -- 7. Communities -- 8. Genetics and adaptation in landscapes -- 9. Virtual worlds -- 10. Ecological informatics -- 11. The Global Picture.
    Abstract: This book examines key concepts and analytical approaches in complexity theory as it applies to landscape ecology, including complex networks, connectivity, criticality, feedback, and self-organisation. It then reviews the ways that these ideas have led to new insights into the nature of ecosystems and the role of processes in landscapes. The updated edition explores innovations in ecotechnology, including automated monitoring, big data, simulation and machine learning, and shows how they are revolutionizing ecology by making it possible to deal more effectively with complexity. Addressing the topic in a progression of ideas from small to large, and from simple to sophisticated, the book examines the implications of complexity for major environmental issues of our time, particularly the urgencies of climate change and loss of biodiversity. Understanding ecological complexity is crucial in today’s globalized and interconnected world. Successful management of the world’s ecosystems must combine models of ecosystem complexity with biodiversity, environmental, geographic, and socioeconomic data. The book examines the impact of humans on landscapes and ecosystems, as well as efforts to embed sustainability, commerce and industrial development in the larger context of ecosystem services and ecological economics. Well-established as researchers in the field, the authors provide a new perspective on current and future understanding of complexity in landscape ecology. The new edition offers a non-technical account of the topic, so it is both accessible and informative for general readers. For students of ecology, it provides a fresh approach to classical ideas.

    Abstract: This monograph contains the advances achieved based on the content of our previous monograph published in 2011. In other words, the present monograph can be considered as "Part II" containing new results accomplished in the last decade. These were published in several reputed international journals based on the concept of natural time discussed in detail in our earlier monograph. The analysis in natural time enables the study of the dynamical evolution of a complex system and identifieswhen the system enters a critical stage. A wide range of applications are discussed, such as the cases of environmental extreme events-disasters and sudden cardiac death. More light is shed on changes of natural time features before major earthquakes like the 2011 M9 Tohoku earthquake in Japan and the 2017 M8.2 Chiapas earthquake in Mexico. Hence, natural time analysis plays a key role in predicting impending catastrophic events in general with a primary audienceResearchers and Academics in Physics, Earth Sciences, and Medicine.
