The Social Metabolism: A Socio-Ecological Theory of Historical Change

The Social Metabolism: A Socio-Ecological Theory of Historical Change by Manuel González de Molina , Víctor M. Toledo
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 434 Pages | ISBN : 303148410X | 33.9 MB

This book helps readers to understand the fast growing and timely concept of social metabolism. The authors shed a light on the different existing terms and methodologies that have been developed over the years. Through the study of history, readers will get an understanding of the main currents or schools that exist around this concept and their main findings. Also provides examples of how to apply the metabolic approach at different territorial and temporal scales and using different methodological tools. The book presents a novel socio-metabolic theory of historical change, in which biophysical and social variables are combined in an integrated way to understand the dynamics of socio-metabolic transitions.

Selenium and Nano-Selenium in Environmental Stress Management and Crop Quality Improvement

Selenium and Nano-Selenium in Environmental Stress Management and Crop Quality Improvement by Mohammad Anwar Hossain, Golam Jalal Ahammed, Zsuzsanna Kolbert, Hassan El-Ramady, Md. Tofazzal Islam, Michela Schiavon
English | EPUB | 2022 | 467 Pages | ISBN : 3031070623 | 23.5 MB

Crop plants growing under field conditions are constantly exposed to various abiotic and biotic stress factors leading to decreased yield and quality of produce. In order to achieve sustainable development in agriculture and to increase agricultural production for feeding an increasing global population, it is necessary to use ecologically compatible and environmentally friendly strategies to decrease the adverse effects of stresses on the plant. Selenium is one of the critical elements from the biological contexts because it is essential for human health; however, it becomes toxic at high concentrations. It has been widely reported that selenium can promote plant growth and alleviate various stresses as well as increase the quantity and quality of the yield of many plant species.
