Efforts  are now being made to integrate regional models  from the physical,  biological and social sciences in order to respond  to diverse  environmental problems. This volume explores the latest  research  developments on processes operating at a variety of scales,  including  regions, and how scientists can combine their efforts to  develop  models linking biological, physical, and human systems. Data  requirements for successful integrated regional models are identified  and discussed. Chapters also consider methodological questions, such  as whether to integrate disciplinary approaches at the beginning or  the end of the modelling process, and whether integrated regional  models should focus on specific regions or specific problems. The  information in this volume will enable the reader to view problems  such as coastal zone management, atmospheric pollution, non-point  source pollution, commodity production in forested areas, and urban  expansion in a broad, conceptual context. Researchers and graduate  students in ecology, biology, geography and geology will benefit from  this innovative approach to contemporary environmental problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468464498\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-6447-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 157\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44395425923212,"sku":"9781468464498","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468464498.jpg?v=1775819542","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468464498","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
