Today, sustainability of a healthy freshwater ecosystem and its associated ecosystem services are hot issues with ever-growing attention placed upon them. We are increasingly recognizing that they are crucial for the survival of the aquatic biota and human beings on our planet. The efficient monitoring of water resources is fundamental for effective management of water quality and aquatic ecosystems. The first stage in sustainable ecosystem management is the evaluation of the current status of target ecosystems. Traditionally, and even today, physico-chemical parameters have mainly been used to evaluate the quality of water resources. However, they have a large limit to grab the wholeness of water system, particularly in the sense of ecosystem health and integrity, for which ecological monitoring should be based on biological factors. Various approaches are applicable to ecosystem health assessment at different levels of the biological hierarchy, from genes to ecosystems. This Special Issue is designed to improve scientific understanding and strategies for sound aquatic ecosystem management and services for researchers, decision makers, and stakeholders.

L’industrie, indispensable au développement de notre économie et à la cohésion de notre société, est en déclin dans notre pays. L’Académie des technologies s’est penchée sur les moyens de favoriser sa renaissance sous des formes adaptées aux nouveaux enjeux écologiques et sociétaux, dans un marché mondialisé. Comment faciliter le développement en France d’une industrie créatrice de richesse pour toutes ses parties prenantes, respectueuse de ses salariés, sobre en ressources, attentive à ses impacts, soucieuse de la qualité et de la sécurité de ses procédés et de ses produits, moteur du développement durable des territoires sur lesquels elle est implantée ? Le rapport se penche aussi bien sur ce qui relève des entreprises que sur le rôle des pouvoirs publics. Il insiste sur l’importance des réseaux et écosystèmes dont chaque participant peut mobiliser des partenaires aux compétences complémentaires, sur la nécessité d’améliorer la formation initiale et continue, d’organiser des carrières plus évolutives et donc plus attractives, de développer une recherche technologique accessible aux entreprises, d’encourager les investissements patients et risqués. Il montre à travers quelques exemples comment l’industrie française peut consolider ses positions ou rattraper ses retards grâce au développement et à la diffusion de technologies émergentes et en s’appuyant sur de nouveaux usages.

Model Ecosystems in Extreme Environments, Second Edition examines ecosystems at the most extreme habitats and their interaction with the environment, providing a key element in our understanding of the role and function of microorganisms in nature. The book highlights current topics in the field, such as biodiversity and the structure of microbial communities in extreme environments, the effects of extreme environmental conditions on microbial ecosystems, and ecological and evolutionary interactions in extreme environments, among other topics. It will be a valuable text for faculty and students working with extremophiles and/or microbial ecology and researchers, including astrobiologists, biologists, evolutionary scientists, astronomers, geochemists and oceanographers.

Upland Habitats presents a comprehensive illustrated guide to the habits wildlife and conservation of Britains last wilderness areas. These include: heather moors, sheep walk deer forest, blanket bogs, montane and sub-montane forests. The book examines the unique characteristics of uplands and the ecological processes and historical events that have shaped them since the end of the last glaciaton. Among the key conservation and management issues explored in are:* modern agricultural practices and economics* habitat degradation through overgrazing* commercial forest plantat
