In a richly drawn, anecdotally driven narrative, Joe C. Truett, a grasslands ecologist who writes with a flair for language, traces the evolutionary, historical, and cultural forces that have reshaped North American rangelands over the past two centuries. He introduces an intriguing cast of characters-wildlife and grasslands biologists, archaeologists, ranchers, and petroleum geologists-to illuminate a wide range of related topics: our love affair with turf and how it manifests in lawns and sports, the ecological and economic dimensions of ranching, the glory of cowboy culture, grasslands and restoration ecology, and more. His book ultimately provides the background against which we can envision a new paradigm for restoring rangeland ecosystems-and a new paradigm for envisioning a more sustainable future. 410 0$aOrganisms and environments ;$v11. 606 $aGrassland ecology 606 $aGrasslands 606 $aGrasses 610 $aanecdotes. 610 $aarchaeologists. 610 $abiography autobiography. 610 $aconservation. 610 $acowboy culture. 610 $acultural forces. 610 $aenvironmentalists. 610 $aevolution. 610 $agrass. 610 $agrassland ecologists. 610 $agrasslands biology. 610 $agrasslands. 610 $ahistorical habitats. 610 $ahuman habitat. 610 $alawns. 610 $amodern philosophy. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $anorth america. 610 $aorganisms and environments. 610 $apetroleum geologists. 610 $aranchers. 610 $arangelands. 610 $arestoration ecology. 610 $arestore ecosystems. 610 $ascience majors. 610 $asustainability. 610 $atextbooks. 610 $aturf. 610 $awildlife biologists. 615 0$aGrassland ecology. 615 0$aGrasslands. 615 0$aGrasses. 676 $a578.740978 700 $aTruett$b Joe C$g(Joe Clyde),$f1941-$01474515 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778402903321 996 $aGrass$93688273 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03595nam 2200793Ia 450 001 9910829044703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612817731 010 $a9781444348170 010 $a1444348175 010 $a9781282817739 010 $a1282817736 010 $a9781444324921 010 $a1444324926 010 $a9781444324938 010 $a1444324934 035 $a(CKB)2670000000047082 035 $a(EBL)589268 035 $a(OCoLC)695561425 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000423334 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11268762 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000423334 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10439656 035 $a(PQKB)10758581 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC589268 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL589268 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10419211 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL281773 035 $a(Perlego)1010719 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000047082 100 $a20100329d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aModelling the impact of climate change on water resources /$fedited by Fai Fung, Ana Lopez, Mark New 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aChichester, West Sussex, UK ;$aHoboken, NJ $cWiley$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (216 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9781405196710 311 08$a1405196718 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aModelling the Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources; Contents; Contributors; Preface; 1 Introduction; 2 Weather and Climate; 3 Regional Climate Downscaling; 4 Water for People: Climate Change and Water Availability; 5 Emerging Approaches to Climate Risk Management; 6 The Case Studies; 6.1 Introduction; 6.2 Case 1: Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources in the Quarai?

This book brings together world experts on each of these aspects, distilling each complex topic into concise and easy to understand chapters, in which both the uses and limitations of modelling are explored. The book concludes with a set of case studies using real-life examples to illustrate the steps required and the problems that can be faced in ass 606 $aWater-supply$xForecasting 606 $aClimatic changes$xForecasting 606 $aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$xSimulation methods 606 $aWatershed management 606 $aDroughts$xRisk assessment 606 $aLong-range weather forecasting 615 0$aWater-supply$xForecasting. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xForecasting. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aWatershed management. 615 0$aDroughts$xRisk assessment. 615 0$aLong-range weather forecasting. 676 $a553.7 701 $aFung$b Fai$01594137 701 $aLopez$b Ana$01594138 701 $aNew$b Mark$01594139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829044703321 996 $aModelling the impact of climate change on water resources$93914589 997 $aUNINA
