This book has been written to present major and efficient applications in landscape ecology, as well as to propose a solid action for this category of topics. The book aims to illustrate various treatment methods of the land-use models impact on landscape ecology creation. The book is divided into three parts: Part I: Ecological interpretation of land-use act - in this part, ecosystem and land use turn out to be a significant factor in the process of creating an ecological landscape. Part II: Landscape district in applied ecological analysis - this part attempts to illustrate the best possible model of analysis integrated with landscape in practical case studies. Part III: The anthropogenic impacts on landscape creation - this part discusses the human impact on landscape creation.

This Special Issue "Polyphenols in Crops, Medicinal and Wild Edible Plants: From Their Metabolism to Their Benefits for Human Health" presents recent studies dealing with polyphenols isolated from different food sources in terms of nutraceutical, ethnobotanical, and pharmaceutical properties. The most recent techniques of analyses were used, e.g., high throughout metabolomics analyses as well as polyphenol-based fingerprinting to generate metabolic markers. The benefits of polyphenol extracts and isolated phenolic moieties related to human pathologies were also investigated.

In diesem Sammelband werden Beiträge zusammengefasst, die sich mit der Nutzung der Umwelt in ihren verschiedenen Funktionen (öffentliches Konsumgut, Rezeptor von Schadstoffen) unter dem besonderen Aspekt der räumlichen Dimensionen von Umweltgütern befassen. Der Band enthält wirtschaftspolitisch und theoretisch ausgerichtete Beiträge. Insbesondere wird versucht, die Bestimmung der anzustrebenden Umweltqualität in räumlichen Systemen (Regionen) und die für die Erreichung dieser Umweltqualität einzusetzenden Instrumente zu erklären.

While research on cultural dangers has a traditional focus on natural sciences the social and economic aspects of natural disasters gain increasing interest to allow for sustainable development. Hazard and loss potential need to be evaluated on a social level and alternative measures and risk provision (risk prevention and diminution of risks) as well as risk follow-up actions (diversification and risk transfer) are required. This describes a change in paradigms and a change in natural hazard management by the application of integrative risk assessment and risk management. All possible provisions need to be considered. Während die Naturgefahrenforschung traditionell stark durch einen naturwissenschaftlichen Zugang geprägt ist, wird neuerdings zunehmend in die Überlegungen einbezogen, dass für einen nachhaltigen Umgang mit Naturgefahren gesellschaftliche und ökonomische Überlegungen explizit zu berücksichtigen sind. Für den optimalen Umgang mit Naturgefahren sind das Gefahren- und das Schadenpotential aus gesellschaftlicher Sicht zu erfassen sowie alternative Maßnahmen der Risikovorsorge (Risikovermeidung und Risikominderung) und der Risikonachsorge (Risikodiversifikation und Risikotransfer) in die Betrachtung einzubeziehen. Ausdruck des Paradigmenwechsels in der Naturgefahrenforschung ist das Konzept des integralen Risikomanagements, bei dem vom Risikokreislauf ausgegangen und Risikoanalyse, Risikobewertung und Risikomanagement unter Berücksichtigung aller potentiellen Maßnahmen integrierend betrachtet werden.

Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor and public spaces to achieve environmental, socio-behavioral, and/or aesthetic outcomes. It involves the systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and geological conditions and processes in the landscape, and the design of interventions that will produce the desired outcome. The scope of the profession includes: urban design; site planning; town or urban planning; environmental restoration; parks and recreation planning; visual resource management; green infrastructure planning and provision; and private estate and residence landscape master planning and design - all at varying scales of design, planning and management. This book contains chapters on recent developments in studies of landscape architecture. For this reason I believe the book would be useful to the relevant professional disciplines.
