Geoecology of Landscape Dynamics
Seema Sahdev, R. B. Singh, Manish KumarReveals the human dimensions of sustainability through its cultural ecological approach. Contributes a spatio-temporal perspective for integrated assessment through landscape dynamics. Covers spatial informatics techniques to contribute to the Landscape Decision Support System (LDSS)
The Geoecology has been effectively applied to deal with various types of problems of geo-ecosystem such as natural resource management, ecosystem and landscape characterization, landscape degradation, soil, environment, climate change and vegetation modelling, providing new insights to identify the influence of the changes on biodiversity, ecological stability and land use and land cover, generally on the course of landscape processes and characteristics.
The book aims to identify the ecological indicators of the quality of functioning and the structure of the formation mechanism for geographical landscape integration and put forth the application related to natural resources management in various environments such as mountain, plains, river basin, island, coastal, etc. The book highlights the indicators which can be used for quantifying sustainability in a geospatially explicit manner.
