Forest Monitoring

Chapter 22. Data Quality in Laboratories: Methods and Results for Soil, Foliar, and Water Chemical Analyses

By: Nils König,Nathalie Cools,Kirsti Derome,Anna Kowalska,Bruno De Vos,Alfred Fürst,Aldo Marchetto,Philip O'Dea,Gabriele A. Tartari

Chemical analyses are an essential part of forest ecosystem monitoring activities. Harmonized, well-defined, and documented analytical methods are an important part of a laboratory Quality Control program and are essential to maximize spatial and temporal comparability of monitoring data. Different quality and data consistency checks, plausible ranges for analytical results, use of reference materials, and control charts are described for internal laboratory Quality Control. On the other side, coordinated ring tests among participating laboratories are an integral part of external Quality Control. Organization of ring tests, evaluation, and the benchmark with tolerable limits are described and specified. Results for water, foliage, and soil ring tests and the evaluation of quality indicators within the European forest ecosystem monitoring program are reported.

Forest Monitoring

Chapter 15. Forest Soil: Characterization, Sampling, Physical, and Chemical Analyses

By: Nathalie Cools,Bruno De Vos

This chapter describes methods for long-term forest soil monitoring from the field design, to the laboratory analytical methods, and through to the data compilation and validation. Soil monitoring comprises two main pillars: the soil characterization, including a detailed soil profile description and classification; and the assessment of the physical and chemical status of the soil layers. Composite samples are taken at fixed-depth intervals, mainly for chemical analyses. Soil bulk density and soil water retention characteristics are measured using undisturbed core samples, in contrast to the other variables. Specific sampling techniques are employed for forest floors, peat soils, and fine-textured mineral and stony soils. The recommended laboratory methods are predominantly based on International Organization for Standardization methods. Results from the second European forest soil survey are presented to demonstrate the usefulness and implementation of the described methods.

The Secret Life of the Universe

An Astrobiologist's Search for the Origins and Frontiers of Life

By: Nathalie A. Cabrol

‘A mind-altering and exhilarating read’ Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk ‘Of all the popular books on the search for life that are now being published, this one is quite special’ James L. Green, former NASA chief scientist Over the last few decades, space exploration has revolutionised our understanding of our place in the cosmos. We now know that there are many habitable environments within our solar system. Yet a profound question remains: are we alone in the universe? Nathalie A. Cabrol, leading astrobiologist and director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, takes us to the frontiers of the search for life. This book’s odyssey begins by searching for how life began on Earth in order to understand what’s necessary for life to exist elsewhere. What role did our moon play? And could life on Mars, or another world, have seeded life on Earth? Cabrol continues this dazzling interplanetary tour, illuminating the likeliest places for life in our neighbourhood: Venus, Mars, the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and Pluto. Finally, we seek life beyond our solar system, looking at the recent revolution in the night sky: the realisation that there are millions of exoplanets within our galaxy that could support life. The Secret Life of the Universe is both a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the latest discoveries and an awe-inspiring exploration of what this means for us as humans on Earth today. It’s an exhilarating journey, perfect for anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered what might be out there.

Shakespeare's Insults

A Pragmatic Dictionary

By: Nathalie Vienne-Guerrin

Why are certain words used as insults in Shakespeare's world and what do these words do and say? Shakespeare's plays abound with insults which are more often merely cited than thoroughly studied, quotation prevailing over exploration. The purpose of this richly detailed dictionary is to go beyond the surface of these words and to analyse why and how words become insults in Shakespeare's world. It's an invaluable resource and reference guide for anyone grappling with the complexities and rewards of Shakespeare's inventive use of language in the realm of insult and verbal sparring.

Evolution Evolving

The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity

Evolution Evolving

The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity

By: Kevin N. Lala,Tobias Uller,Nathalie Feiner,Marcus Feldman,Scott F. Gilbert

A new account of the central role developmental processes play in evolution A new scientific view of evolution is emerging—one that challenges and expands our understanding of how evolution works. Recent research demonstrates that organisms differ greatly in how effective they are at evolving. Whether and how each organism adapts and diversifies depends critically on the mechanistic details of how that organism operates—its development, physiology, and behavior. That is because the evolutionary process itself has evolved over time, and continues to evolve. The scientific understanding of evolution is evolving too, with groundbreaking new ways of explaining evolutionary change. In this book, a group of leading biologists draw on the latest findings in evolutionary genetics and evo-devo, as well as novel insights from studies of epigenetics, symbiosis, and inheritance, to examine the central role that developmental processes play in evolution. Written in an accessible style, and illustrated with fascinating examples of natural history, the book presents recent scientific discoveries that expand evolutionary biology beyond the classical view of gene transmission guided by natural selection. Without undermining the central importance of natural selection and other Darwinian foundations, new developmental insights indicate that all organisms possess their own characteristic sets of evolutionary mechanisms. The authors argue that a consideration of developmental phenomena is needed for evolutionary biologists to generate better explanations for adaptation and biodiversity. This book provides a new vision of adaptive evolution.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Catching the Dream

Poems Inspired By Susan Boyle

By: Joyce W. Leo & Nathalie Roy

Catching the Dream is a collection of poems written by 14 poets from all over the world. These poets all share a common trait: they fell in love with Susan Boyle´s voice and personality and were inspired enough to join a fan site (for the first time ever for most of them) where they discovered each other and enjoyed the pleasures of cyber-creation and communication. Long-time lovers of words and word games, they naturally expressed the joy and wonderment they felt through poetry. Their common adventure started with playing a word tag game of having the "Last Word." As they shared thoughts and feelings, experimenting different poetic styles, they gained trust with each other and joined on the same journey -- ultimately taking the form of individual spiritual quests into the common humanity that unites us all. Calling themselves the Golden Girls, these poets reflect the uniqueness and preciousness of gold, as well as its overtones of age, ripeness and wisdom. Each poet has a distinctive voice but together they create a continuous chant, their voices blending to sing a Hymn to Life. The 211 poems were edited and arranged by Joyce W. Leo and Nathalie Roy.

Organizational Survival: Profitable Strategies for a Sustainable Future

By: Gregory Balestrero,Nathalie Udo

BOOST LOYALTY, PROFITABILITY, AND GROWTH WITH A STRATEGY OF SUSTAINABILITY Organizational Survival provides a rational, research-based approach to creating a durable business strategy designed to meet the needs of today's customers and position an organization to outperform while positively impacting society, the environment, community, and the bottom line. Balestrero and Udo present an airtight argument for sustainability being essential to any business strategy going forward. Illustrating how successful companies around the globe are already deliberately changing--including Coca-Cola, BMW, BASF, and Walmart--the authors take you step-by-step through the processes of developing a new strategy, or altering an existing one, to integrate sustainability into core business goals. Organizational Survival provides the tools needed to apply risk management, scenario planning, and due diligence to sustainability initiatives via their innovative SEEE model framework--developed in conjunction with International Institute for Learning, Inc.--which encompasses the social, economic, environmental, and ethical factors of strategic change. Learn to build adaptive foresight and steer the future of your company based on: SOCIAL COMMITMENT: Integrate individual and community stakeholder interests into your strategy and align them with your company's values ECONOMIC COMMITMENT: Develop a business model that will generate profits through sustainability ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT: Honestly assess the company's impact on the environment and take requisite action ETHICAL COMMITMENT: Build trust among all stakeholders through openness, transparency, and accountability Embrace the changes businesses are facing, and implement a strategy now that will meet market demand and ensure your Organizational Survival. PRAISE FOR ORGANIZATIONAL SURVIVAL: "Fine book! What I find most impressive is the authors' success at achieving balance: Neither simply optimistic nor pessimistic, they offer grounds for hope. The book balances the need for sustainability with opportunities for its achievement. Well researched, their stories and their data come from both the developed and the developing world. The book is both deeply principled and highly pragmatic." -- Jay Ogilvy, Dean and Chief Academic Officer, Presidio School of Management "There's no shortage of corporate sustainability books or leaders. The rarity is corporate sustainability books by leaders: people who truly understand the institutional dynamics that get in the way of change, and that can be harnessed to make change happen. Greg Balestrero and Nathalie Udo plug this gap admirably in Organizational Survival." -- Storm Cunningham, author of The Restoration Economy and reWealth "Organizational Survival is a comprehensive approach to supporting and leading change within an organization. The practical insights, in-depth research, and business cases the authors present provide a valuable perspective on the business need for sustainability, as well as the practical assessment model and framework needed to successfully implement sustainability/Corporate Social Responsibility within an organization." -- Lisa Shambro, Executive Director, Foundation for Strategic Sourcing "Far more than a compelling case for change, Organizational Survival is a step-by-step road map for how to transform your corporate destiny and build a sustainable future for all." -- Simon Mainwaring, author of the New York Times bestseller We First: How Brands and Consumers Use Social Media to Build a Better World

Soulève ta Cornette !

By: Myriam FERVILLE,Nathalie OLIVIER

Comédie satirique, « Soulève ta Cornette », est une pièce caustique, explosive et tendre, un mélange vivant de textes et de musiques. Voulue à la fois drôle, brute et légère, elle tente de se saisir des aberrations que provoquent certaines traditions religieuses dans la vie de tous les jours. La pièce trace les histoires mêlées de deux couples d'amis, catholiques, musulmans et juifs, dirigés par une conscience suprême qui les mènent à exposer, avec acidité, humour, intelligence et amour, ce qu'est leur vie. Un Trublion, libre penseur et cabot, et une Rosière, croyante habitée et frondeuse, invitent, en parallèle, le spectateur - tenté de s'en remettre à Dieu - à s'interroger sur les mécanismes qui conduisent les hommes à se mentir, se détourner, et à développer une dépendance morale.Entre le bien et le mal, ça râpe, ça grince, ça couine, ça chouine, mais ça vit !
