Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A summary of much of the experimental work on the spatial ecology of small mammals. This field has entered an exciting stage with such new techniques as GIS and systems modeling becoming available. Leading contributors describe and analyze the most well-known case studies and provide new insights into how landscape patterns and processes have had an impact on small mammals and how small mammals have, in turn, affected landscape structure and composition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report on the status and behaviors of grasslands small mammals existing in Camp Dodge, Iowa. Although Camp Dodge is one of the few places left in central Iowa containing relatively large intact pieces of grasslands, it is still affected by direct and indirect human interference. Pressure to clear and row-crop so much for the agricultural practices increases stress on the native flora and fauna. Unless we pay attention to Iowa's rapidly diminishing natural habitats, the state's unique blend of flora and fauna will be lost forever. Because the world is composed of landscapes, spatial mosaics are the focus of landscape ecology. From an ecological perspective, landscape ecology offers a way to consider environmental heterogeneity or "patchiness" in spatially explicit terms. As we lose more contiguous natural habitats through anthropogenic processes, analyzing species movement patterns and behaviors is essential to interpreting their response to habitat fragmentation. We use the landscape ecology approach to look at the behavioral ecology of small grassland mammals in a fragmented landscape.

The book has been written by very well-known practitioners and pioneers in the new field of ecological analysis. Landscape ecology has emerged during the past two decades as a new and exciting level of ecological study. Environmental problems such as global climate change, land use change, habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity have required ecologists to expand their traditional spatial and temporal scales and the widespread availability of remote imagery, geographic information systems, and desk top computing has permitted the development of spatially explicit analyses. In this new text book this new field of landscape ecology is given the first fully integrated treatment suitable for the student. Throughout, the theoretical developments, modeling approaches and results, and empirical data are merged together, so as not to introduce barriers to the synthesis of the various approaches that constitute an effective ecological synthesis. The book also emphasizes selected topic areas in which landscape ecology has made the most contributions to our understanding of ecological processes, as well as identifying areas where its contributions have been limited. Each chapter features questions for discussion as well as recommended reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.
