Conclution. 330 $aThis book is part of a two-volume set that offers an innovative approach towards developing methods and tools for assigning conservation categories of threatened taxa and their conservation strategies by way of different phases of eco-restoration in the context of freshwater river systems of tropical bio-geographic zones. The set provides a considerable volume of research on the biodiversity component of river ecosystems, seasonal dynamics of physical chemical parameters, geo-hydrological properties, types, sources and modes of action of different types of pollution, river restoration strategies and methodologies for the ongoing ecological changes of river ecosystems. Volume 1 provides an in-depth analysis of different theories with international relevance pertaining to the functioning of river ecosystems, shaping their structure and contributing ecological services, and includes the principles of riverine ecology such as biogeochemical cycles, physiography, hydrogeology, and physico-chemical parameters. It covers the basic concepts and principles of water within riverine ecosystems, and the underlying ecological principles operating to ensure ecological stability and sustainability of the fluvial ecosystem. The book explains the ecofunctionality of different geo-morphological, geo-hydrological and physico-chemical factors and processes in changing time scales and spaces, with special emphasis on the tropical fresh water rivers in India. . 606 $aStream ecology 615 0$aStream ecology. 676 $a577.64 700 $aChakraborty$b Susanta Kumar$0851634 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483728903321 996 $aRiverine ecology$91901545 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01052nam a22002411i 4500 001 991000925739707536 005 20021106113643.0 008 021106s1973 fr |||||||||||||||||fre 035 $ab12074895-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-016469$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Filologia Ling. e Lett.$bita$cA.t.i.

Organized in five sections, the chapters trace special productive and adaptive attributes of African livestock breeds, past breed improvement efforts, capacity building and strategies to effective utilization of available genetic resources in the era of modern technologies. The authors cover major farm animal groups as well as dromedaries, rabbits and grasscutters. In view of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (in particular SDG 2, Zero Hunger, and SDG 15, Life on Land), the purpose of this volume is to catalogue opportunities that can be leveraged with available technologies and technical knowhow for achieving rapid genetic gain and improved livestock productivity in Africa. It fosters the utilization of genetic resources and the protection of indigenous livestock biodiversity. Natural selection and humans have generated genetically diverse breeds of domesticated farm animals which can significantly contribute to the livelihoods of millions of Africans today. Africa?s indigenous livestock are particularly hardy and well-adapted to local production contexts, having evolved adaptations to the continent?s diverse climatic conditions and environmental pressures. In spite of the wealth of desirable genetic traits, however, some of Africa?s iconic and lesser-known livestock are disappearing at an alarming rate. Moreover, despite increasing recognition of what this diversity portends, little has been done to understand and optimally harness the full potential of these genetic resources. By combining scientific basis and practical instructions, this work is a valuable manual for a diverse readership, including students, researchers, livestock farmers, livestock and non-governmental organizations, policy makers and business professionals who want to understand the uniqueness of African livestock genetic resources, production systems and strategies for sustainable improvement for the African environment. 410 0$aSustainable Development Goals Series,$x2523-3092 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aAgricultural genome mapping 606 $aBiology$xTechnique 606 $aGenetics 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aAgricultural Genetics 606 $aGenetic Techniques 606 $aAnimal Physiology 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aAgricultural genome mapping. 615 0$aBiology$xTechnique. 615 0$aGenetics. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 14$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aAgricultural Genetics. 615 24$aGenetic Techniques. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 676 $a636.082096 700 $aIbeagha-Awemu$b Eveline M$01864631 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911046015803321 996 $aAfrican Livestock Genetic Resources and Sustainable Breeding Strategies$94471506 997 $aUNINA
