Ecology of Harmful Algae
Harmful algae blooms are one of the consequences of the human impact on aquatic ecosystems, particularly the process of eutrophication. They can cause a variety of deleterious effects, including the poisoning of fish and shellfish, habitat disruption for many organisms, water discolouration, beach fouling, and even txic effects for human.

Biological Invasions (Reprint 2008)
This new volume on Biological Invasions deals with both plants and animals, differing from previous book by extending from the species to an ecosystem and global level. Its 22 chapters cover pathways of biological invasions, traits of succesful invaders (e.g. chemical weapons, empty niches), patterns of invasion and invasibility as well as ecological impacts, economy and socio-economy.

Western North American Juniperus Communities. A Dynamic Vegetation Type
In North America Juniperus woodlands occupy approx. 55 million hectares, an area larger than the state of Texas. Various species of Juniperus have been encreasing in density and are expanding into associated grasslands, reducing the size of grasslands. The reason for the Juniperus expansion is highly debated, but has important implications for global change and fire regime studies.

Peatlands of the Western Guayana Highlands, Venezuela. Properties and Paleographic Significance of Peats
The Guayana Highlands in northeastern tropical America, rising from lowland rain forests and savannas up to 3000 m elevation, are characterized by ancient tablelands called tepuis. The peatlands that developed on the tepuis constitute unique and fascinating ecosystems and are the focus of this volume, which starts with an overview of tropical and subtropical peats, followed by an introduction to the geo-ecological features of the Guayana region as a whole, with special emphasis on the diversity of the vegetation cover from lowlands to uplands to highlands. The core subject centers on the properties and dating of the peat deposits and the interpretation of the chronological record in terms of past environmental changes. The well illustrated book will appeal to a broad range of scientists interested in tropical highland peats, including quaternarists, soil scientists, geomorphologists, geographers, geologists, ecologists, botanists, hydrologists, conservationists, and land use planners.
