"This new volume emphasizes the drastic quantitative and qualitative transformation of our surrounding environment. It looks at bioresource management and the tools needed to manage environmental stresses. This unique compilation and interpretation of concrete scientific ventures undertaken by environmental specialists at the global level explores research dedicated to the management of natural resources by controlling biotic and abiotic factors making the earth vulnerable to these stresses. The book outlines the series of important developments in the recent past on bioresource and stress management. The chapter authors in Sustainable Bioresource Management: Climate Change Mitigation and Natural Resource Conservation look at all types of bioresources on earth and their management at times of stress/crisis, focusing on the need for documentation, validation, and recovery of ethnic indigenous knowledge and practices that could have great impact in stress management. The book looks at topics in nature and changing climate management, adaptation, and mitigation, such as the effects of climate change on agriculture and horticulture, on timber harvesting, and on forest resources. Also specifically discussed is crop resources management, seed crops, tree seedlings, soil management, and conservation practices. The volume also includes chapters on animal resources management. This volume aims to help mitigate the influences of over-exploitation, pollution, modification, destruction or degradation of native habitats and to amplify the vulnerability of bioresources by presenting multifaceted and diverse research on adapting and/or adopting effective techniques for management and conservation of bioresources."-- Provided by publisher.
