The database provides access to bibliographic records for a unique, extensive collection of fire ecology literature. Citations for all papers (with abstracts) from 22 Proceedings of the Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conferences are in the database. The donation of personal research collections from E.V. Komarek and H.L. Stoddard, founders of Tall Timbers, was the original impetus for the Tall Timbers Board of Trustees to mandate creation of a computerized bibliographic database. Since its inception in 1987, the database has been continually expanded under direction of the Tall Timbers librarian. Although international in scope, the database emphasizes the southeastern United States, the USA, and North America. Historical and current works are included. As of January 2006, there are over 18,000 citations in the database and over 8,000 abstracts. The Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Thesaurus is the tool created by the library for indexing database records. ... [Information of the supplier]
FEIS provides up-to-date information about fire effects on plants and animals. It was developed at the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fire Sciences Laboratory in Missoula, Montana. The FEIS database contains literature reviews, taken from current English-language literature of about 900 plant species, 7 lichen species, about 100 wildlife species and 10 research project summaries, and 16 Kuchler plant communities of North America. The emphasis of each review and summary is fire and how it affects each species. Background information on taxonomy, distribution, basic biology, and ecology of each species is also included. Reviews are thoroughly documented, and each contains a complete bibliography. Managers from several land management agencies (United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service and United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service) identified the species to be included in the database. Those agencies funded the original work and continue to support maintenance and updating of the database. FEIS staff accessions current English-language literature for FEIS literature reviews by searching scientific abstracts including Agricola, Current Contents, Current Titles in Wildland Fire, Ecodisc, Ecological Abstracts, Forestry Abstracts, Georef, and Water Resources Abstracts. Tables of Content from refereed scientific journals and government publication lists are also regularly searched for pertinent literature. ... [Information of the supplier]
CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) houses Australia’s leading regional climate change modelling research teams. Our research aims to advance Australian climate, marine and earth systems science. We focus on issues affecting Australia and the world, and we provide a range of scientific and consulting services that are underpinned by this research. The atmospheric composition of the Southern Hemisphere and the exchange of gases with the land and sea are important in measuring, modelling and analysing climate change and ozone depletion.The Climate and Atmosphere theme develops Earth system models and knowledge of climate processes to make climate and ocean predictions and assess climate change impacts. It aims to help our climate-sensitive society make better decisions. Researchers use observations of the atmosphere and Earth to assess air quality, greenhouse gases and the interactions between land and air. Their work focuses on policies, actions and methodologies that are responsive to changes in atmospheric health, for the responsible use of the atmosphere and its interactions with the Earth. ...

Biohydrology 2013 addresses many contemporary issues surrounding water scarcity, climate change and increase pressure on land. The conference focusses on the interaction between biological and hydrological systems, including positive impacts such as water harnessing and flood mitigation, and negative aspects including threats to food production, water repellency and environmental degradation through unsustainable land use practices. Experts from hydrology, ecology, soil science, geography, biology, forestry and engineering will meet together in a forum designed to get different disciplines working together. ...

The International Society of Biometeorology (ISB) provides an international forum for the promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration between meteorologists, health professionals, biologists, climatologists, ecologists and other scientists. The Society, as a community of scientists with similar interests, fulfills an important role in providing information, expertise and advice to international organizations requesting this assistance. ISB as a Non-Governmental Organization is a member of ICSU and maintains close liaison with UN agencies such as WMO, WHO, FAO, UNESCO, UNEP and other International organizations. We welcome you to join us as we share and expand our knowledge of the dynamic field of biometeorology. Select a link from the menu bar to begin exploring this site.

Zoology 2015 (22nd former Benelux Congress of Zoology), will be held from 8 - 9 October 2015 in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). Four general topics will be illustrated by four keynote speakers: Evolution of development of behaviour, Ecological forecasting, Eco-evolutionary dynamics, and Microbe-(in)vertebrate interactions. While keynote speakers will give presentations related to the general topics of the congress, researchers from all fields of Animal Sciences (ethology, ecology, oceanology and hydrobiology, taxonomy, morphology, evolutionary biology, paleontology, physiology, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, etc.) will present their work in oral presentations and posters. ...

Climate change has significant impact on society and biodiversity in Europe. Urban inhabitants are most likely to experience climate change effects directly because currently 73 per cent of Europeans live in urban areas. Here, management of urban ecosystems offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation while contributing to human well-being. This joint BfN/ENCA conference in Bonn will bring together experts from science, policy and practice to highlight and discuss the importance of nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban areas and their rural surroundings. The aim of the conference is to increase knowledge and to foster linkages between science, policy and practice regarding nature-based solutions to meet the challenge of climate change in urban areas. In addition, emphasize is given to the potential of nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits. ... [Information of the supplier]
