Overthrowing Big Coal; Notes; IndexA look at the underbelly of an industry whose power continues to soar even as its expansion feeds catastrophic climate change, this work dissects the Australian coal industry's influence to publicly, and behind closed doors, get its way. The book exposes the myth of clean coal and the taxpayer-funded public relations machine behind it while laying bare the desolation in regional Australia as prime farming land, the fabric of communities, and much else is stripmined along with the coal.

This Special Issue portrays the current state of knowledge on boreal bird diversity, ecology, management, and conservation. Humans have diverse impacts on boreal habitats worldwide, and knowledge of the avian community associated with these northern forests is key to conservation measures.Biology, life sciencesbicsscGenetics (non-medical)bicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscaquatic macroinvertebratesbird distribution and abundanceBlack Belt Prairieborealboreal birdsboreal forestboreal wetlandsbufferingCanada WarblerCardellina canadensiscitizen scienceclear-cuttingclimate changecommunity dynamicsconservationEuphagus carolinusforaging ecologyforest birdforest managementgenetic diversityglacial refugiagroup sizehabitat usemachine learningmacroclimaten/anest successniche modelingoccupancy modelingold-growth forestphylogeographyPicoides dorsalispoint countpopulation declinepost-fledgingprotected areasrange peripheryrange shiftred squirrelremotely sensed landscape datareserve designrusty blackbirdRusty Blackbirdspecies distribution modelsspruce-fir forestsstreamssurvivorshiptopographic heterogeneityunmarkedwetlandwetlandsZonationBiology, life sciencesGenetics (non-medical)Research & information: generalMcNulty Stacy Aedt1297588Glennon MichaleedtMcNulty Stacy AothGlennon MichaleothBOOK9910580215103321Boreal Bird Ecology, Management and Conservation3024581UNINA
