Abstract

Ahora bien, junto con las causas de deforestación expuestas concurre lo que estos autores reconocen como causas subyacentes de la deforestación, las cuales hacen referencia a los factores que refuerzan las causas directas e influyen o motivan las decisiones que toman los agentes de la deforestación, lo que explica porqué se presenta este fenómeno. Señalan que las causas subyacentes corresponden a factores demográficos; económicos y tecnológicos; políticos e institucionales; culturales y biofísicos, como, por ejemplo, la visión que tiene el agente sobre el bosque como factor cultural, siendo recurrente que exista "la falsa percepción de que la ruta hacía la obtención de un título de propiedad depende del porcentaje de bosque talado dentro de un terreno baldío" (González, Cubillos, Chadid et ál., 2018, p. 78). La magnitud de la problemática y el acelerado proceso de degradación explican los compromisos adquiridos por Colombia a nivel internacional y los planes, programas y políticas que se han implementado internamente, todos enfocados a un objetivo común: contrarrestar la deforestación y hacerle frente a los impactos que desprende. Resumidos por el Instituto Alexander von Humboldt y wwf (2019), entre estos impactos están la pérdida de biodiversidad y servicios ecosistémicos, alteración de ciclos hidrológicos, nutrientes y erosión del suelo; aumento de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y cambio climático; alteración del clima regional y local; y vulnerabilidad de la población y precarias condiciones de vida. A dichas consecuencias ambientales deben añadirse los impactos del narcotráfico sobre los bosques, que van más allá de las plantaciones: carreteras clandestinas, apertura de pistas de aterrizaje, actividades económicas como la tala y la ganadería para lavar dinero (El Tiempo, 2016), nuevos asentamientos y pobladores que detonan nuevos procesos de deforestación (Vélez, 2019) y el establecimiento de zonas de almacenamiento, procesamiento de hoja y alojamiento de jornaleros (González, Cubillos, Chadid et ál., 2018). Esto se agrava en términos culturales y ambientales cuando los cultivos tienen lugar en áreas de especial importancia ecológica y en territorios de grupos étnicos, situación que lamentablemente se presenta en grandes proporciones. Según lo señalando por el Ministerio de Ambiente y el Ideam (2018), el 15,8 % de los cultivos se encuentran en el Sistema de Áreas Protegidas, 53,4 % en territorio de los que son titulares los grupos étnicos y el 1,9 % bajo zonas de reserva campesina. Por su parte, la Oficina de Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito -unodc- indica que para el 2019 un total de 72 511 hectáreas se encontraban en zonas de manejo especial, de las cuales 24 856 hectáreas se ubicaron en tierras de comunidades negras (unodc y simci, 2020).

Abstract

Prepared by the Task Committee on Standardization of Reference Evapotranspiration of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. This report provides standardized equations for calculating reference evapotranspiration (ET) from weather data and procedures for quality assessment and control of weather data. The purpose of the standardized reference ET equation and calculation procedures is to bring commonality to the calculation of reference ET and to provide a standardized basis for determining or transferring crop coefficients for agriculture and landscape use. The basis of the standardized reference ET equation is the ASCE Penman-Monteith (ASCE-PM) method discussed in ASCE Manual of Practice 70, Evapotranspiration and Irrigation Water Requirements. Along with applications of the ASCE-PM method, this report includes recommended calculations for vapor pressure, net radiation and wind speed adjustment, and guidelines on assessing weather data integrity and estimating values for missing data. The development of this standardized report was made at the request of, and has been endorsed by, the Irrigation Association.

Abstract

As the oldest and largest human intervention in nature, the science of agriculture is one of the most intensely studied practices. From manipulation of plant gene structure to the use of plants for bioenergy, biotechnology interventions in plant and agricultural science have been rapidly developing over the past ten years with immense forward leaps on an annual basis. This book begins by laying the foundations for plant biotechnology by outlining the biological aspects including gene structure and expression, and the basic procedures in plant biotechnology of genomics, metabolomics,

Abstract

Mass Production of Beneficial Organisms: Invertebrates and Entomopathogens is an essential reference and teaching tool for researchers in developed and developing countries working to produce ""natural enemies"" in biological control and integrated pest management programs. As we become aware of the negative impact of pesticides in human health and on the environment, interest is rapidly increasing in developing biological pest control alternatives. Tremendous advances have been made in beneficial organism technology, such as insect predators and parasitoids, mite predators,

Abstract

Plant tissue culture (PTC) is basic to all plant biotechnologies and is an exciting area of basic and applied sciences with considerable scope for further research. PTC is also the best approach to demonstrate the totipotency of plant cells, and to exploit it for numerous practical applications. It offers technologies for crop improvement (Haploid and Triploid production, In Vitro Fertilization, Hybrid Embryo Rescue, Variant Selection), clonal propagation (Micropropagation), virus elimination (Shoot Tip Culture), germplasm conservation, production of industrial phytochemicals, and regeneration of plants from genetically manipulated cells by recombinant DNA technology (Genetic Engineering) or cell fusion (Somatic Hybridization and Cybridization). Considerable work is being done to understand the physiology and genetics of in vitro embryogenesis and organogenesis using model systems, especially Arabidopsis and carrot, which is likely to enhance the efficiency of in vitro regeneration protocols. All these aspects are covered extensively in the present book.             Since the first book on Plant Tissue Culture by Prof. P.R. White in 1943, several volumes describing different aspects of PTC have been published. Most of these are compilation of invited articles by different experts or proceedings of conferences. More recently, a number of books describing the Methods and Protocols for one or more techniques of PTC have been published which should serve as useful laboratory manuals. The impetus for writing this book was to make available a complete and up-to-date text covering all basic and applied aspects of PTC for the students and early-career researchers of plant sciences and plant / agricultural biotechnology.             The book comprises of nineteen chapters profusely illustrated with self-explanatory illustrations. Most of the chapters include well-tested protocols and relevant media compositions that should be helpful in conducting laboratory experiments. For those interested in further details, Suggested Further Reading is given at the end of each chapter, and a Subject and Plant Index is provided at the end of the book.

Abstract

For many years the use of chemical agents such as pesticides and herbicides has been effective in controlling the many varieties of pests that infest both agricultural crops and backyard gardens. However, these pests are gradually becoming resistant to these agents, because the agents themselves are acting as selective factors making the pests better and better able to resist and persist. As a result, the use of biological controlling agents is increasing. This book is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook of biological control.
