Biogeochemical Cycles in Globalization and Sustainable Development

Vladimir F. Krapivin and Costas A. Varotsos

This book provides a unique insight into the social context of global changes in biogeochemical cycles, and is a timely contribution to the current debate into global warming and sustainable development of the nature-society system. Biogeochemical Cycles in Globalization and Sustainable Development

• surveys the present-day understanding of globalization and sustainable development
• provides insight into the social context of global changes in biogeochemical cycles
• constructs interactive models of natural and anthropogenic processes, and considers the correlation between their components
• analyzes regional models to simulate environmental dynamics
• presents relevant results of global ecodynamics simulation modeling
• shows land and ocean ecosystems’ dynamics in the context of environmental survivability
• demonstrates the interactivity of climate change and human strategy in energy use.

This book provides a comprehensive reference for practising specialists in global change science.
