Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies.

Wir befinden uns im Sommer des Jahres 1960. Ein Mann radelt durch eine geisterhafte Landschaft. Ein Atomschlag fünf Jahre zuvor hat die Erde entvölkert hat, und zwar ziemlich gründlich. Der Mann stöbert in den menschenleeren Dörfern der Umgebung nach brauchbarem Material und Vorräten. Wider Erwarten trifft er auf einen anderen Menschen, eine Frau. »Was werden sie tun? Einander in die Arme sinken? Einander totschlagen? Oder schweigen aneinander vorbei gehen?« Arno Schmidt hat in seiner kulturpessimistischen Adam-und-Eva-Dystopie unter den drei Möglichkeiten die »organische Lösung« gewählt. Was man sich darunter vorzustellen hat, hat der Comic-Künstler Nicolas Mahler in dieser Graphic Novel auf unnachahmlich witzige Art in Szene gesetzt.

In Chinese history, the Yellow River is much more than a river; it stands for the origins of Chinese civilization and is often referred to as "The Mother River". Image Files of the Natural and Humanistic Heritages of China's River Sources: Yellow River systematically records the nature, history, and humanity in the Yellow River Basin from the perspective of "visual anthropology". It contains a large number of precious photos taken in the 1980s, not only showing the originality, diversity, and uniqueness of the Yellow River culture but also strengthening the environmental protection awareness, which is considered of high cultural and historical value. The series has three volumes: Memories of Mountains and Rivers, Memories of Old Days, and Memories of Ours. Memories of Mountains and Rivers records in images the geological features of the Yellow River from the source towards the sea and reveals the natural magnificence of the Yellow River. Memories of Old Days tells the rise and fall of Chinese history in the Yellow River Basin throughout thousands of years, from the primitive society to the feudal dynasties, from cultural relics underground to above-ground. Memories of Ours records the residence, grazing, farming, clothing, and sacrifice of the Chinese nation in the Yellow River Basin and reveals the cultural prosperity of the Yellow River Civilization.

The beadwork unearthed in Hunan, to some extent, reflects the historical process of the development of beadwork in ancient China. It is an indispensable important material for studying the beadwork and jade culture in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Craftsmanship is important. The manuscript of this book is divided into two parts. The upper part details the Hunan archeological excavation beadwork and pictures. The second part introduces the research results on these unearthed beadwork. Finally, a table is attached. The manuscript data was comprehensively collected, and more than 500 jade pictures of good preservation and high research value were selected from the excavated materials over the years. The publication of this manuscript allows readers to clearly understand the history of the development of beadwork and beadwork culture in Hunan, which has a high research reference value.

K u n s t / A n g s t EIN ÜBERLEBENSHANDBUCH FÜR DEN KÜNSTLER Von DAVID BAYLES & TED ORLAND Worum geht es bei Kunst? Wohin bewegt sie sich? Welche Widerstände gibt es? DAS SIND DIE FRAGEN, AUF DIE ES ANKOMMT, wiederkehrende Fragen, die sich in jedem Stadium der künstlerischen Entwicklung stellen. Sie sind der Ursprung für dieses Kompendium scharfsinniger Beobachtungen. Kunst & Angst erforscht, wie Kunst geschaffen wird, die Gründe, warum Kunstwerke oft nicht entstehen und die Art der Schwierigkeiten, die so viele Künstler dazu bringt, auf der Wegstrecke aufzugeben. Dieses Buch handelt davon, was du fühlst, wenn du in deinem Atelier oder im Lehrsaal sitzt, du an der Töpferscheibe oder am Keyboard, vor der Staffelei oder hinter deiner Kamera stehst und du versuchst, das Werk, das dir bestimmt ist, zu schaffen. Es geht darum, dass du deine Zukunft in die Hand nimmst, den Freien Willen über Vorherbestimmung, die Wahl vor den Zufall stellst. Es geht darum, dein eigenes Werk zu finden.

Das Buch, mit dem Arno Schmidt sich von ›Zettel’s Traum‹ erholte Finstermänner aus Londons Unterwelt, verlorene Söhne und verzeihende Väter, halbgelehrte Handwerker, stotternde Prediger, Wanderschauspieler und fahrendes Volk, zarte Kindsbräute und verliebte Ladys, die Frau in Eisengrau, Lady Frost und Pudel Toby: Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Zeitgenosse und Freund von Charles Dickens, entfaltet in diesem umfangreichen Roman das bunte Panorama der viktorianischen Gesellschaft. Der vermögende Lord Darrell und die von ihm geliebte Lady Montfort werden ebenso Opfer hinterhältiger Intrigen wie die arme Schauspielerin Sophie und ihr Anbeter Lionel Haughton: Jasper Losely heißt der gewissenlose Dieb und Erpresser, der dafür sorgt, dass sie alle immer wieder aneinander irre werden. Voller Ränke und Volten steckt Edward Bulwer-Lyttons Porträt der Londoner Gesellschaft um 1850. Hinter der rasanten Handlung steht für den zeitlebens politisch engagierten Autor die Frage, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten den Menschen im gesellschaftlichen Gefüge des 19. Jahrhunderts überhaupt bleiben. Die Armen, die Reichen, die Findigen und die Demütigen – was werden sie aus ihrem Leben machen? Arno Schmidts Übersetzung verleiht den Figuren ihre je eigene Sprache – eine Meisterleistung, die beim ersten Erscheinen 1971 dem Roman zu Kultstatus verholfen hat.

This report reviews the energy and protein requirement systems for dairy cows currently used in Britain and presents a new approach, along with the outline of a model for its implementation. Current systems give little consideration to the responses of the animal to changes in the nutrient supply, or to interactions between dietary constituents in their effects on digestion and metabolism. Neither do they predict any effect on the partition of nutrient use between milk and body, or changes in the yields of milk fat, protein and lactose, which determine the commercial value of the milk. Therefore the systems, although not inaccurate, lack relevance to the current needs of UK milk producers. Models which embody concepts of nutrient supply and utilization are reviewed and their development as viable alternatives is considered. It is concluded that a new diet formulation system for dairy cows should aim to predict voluntary feed intake, the partition of nutrient use between milk production and tissue deposition, and the short and long-term of effects of nutrition on fat, protein and lactose yields. The physical and biological characteristics of the cow must also be recognized and incorporated into any model for response prediction. The report is also published in Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews - Series B: Livestock Feeds and Feeding. It is an authoritative review for advanced students, research workers and advisors in animal nutrition and in dairy science and technology.
