{"product_id":"arctic-and-alpine-environments","title":"Arctic and Alpine Environments","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1974, \u003ci\u003eArctic and Alpine Environments\u003c\/i\u003e examines, the relatively simple ecosystems of arctic and alpine lands that still occupy extensive areas little disturbed by modern technology. The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully controlled development of the resources of these regions and suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial environments and systematically deals with the present and past physical environment – climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota – treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical biogeography; abiotic processes – geomorphological and pedological and the role of man – bioclimatology, archaeology and technological impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics and students of environmental and biological science, as well as providing a significant source for conservationists’, government agencies and industrial organizations. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542317752558,"sku":"9780367352547","price":96.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/arctic-and-alpine-environments","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
