* Grasslands are areas where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae) and other herbaceous (non-woody) plants (forbs). Plants of the sedge (Cyperacae) and rush (Juncaceae) families can also be frequent in grasslands. Grasslands occur naturally on all continents except Antarctica, and in many other areas they have replaced the natural vegetation due to human influence. In temperate latitudes, such as north-west Europe, grasslands are dominated by perennial species, whereas in warmer climates annual species form a greater component of the vegetation. *

Contents
1.Population Variation and Life History Patterns/ 2.Ecological Interactions/ 3.Population Biology of Specific Groups/ Index/

* Grasses occupy a greater area of the world's land surface than any other plant family, occurring in almost every terrestrial environment and providing a vital source of food for humans and animals. This volume presents the most recent information on their population biology, bringing together contributions from researchers studying both applied and fundamental aspects of this important group of plants.

* This volume considers demographic, physiological, ecological and molecular approaches to understanding grass populations in relation to reproduction and to aspects of life history patterns such as dispersal, germination, seedling establishment, population dynamics and reproduction. Other areas covered include the role of genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity in shaping life history traits, the impact of biotic factors, and the ecology of specific species in major grass-dominated ecosystems in Africa, Australia and Japan. *

EU Beef Farming Systems and CAP Regulations

Wageningen Academic Pub. 2008.3

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　7,200円

Contents
1.Introduction and acknowledgments/ 2.An update on the CAP Reform and the beef sector in the European Union/ 3.Mid-Term Review: the implementation of the 2003 CAP reform in the EU/ 4.A classification of European beef farming systems/ 5.Impact of the new CAP on French beef farming systems/ 6.The EU CAP-reform of 2003 and its consequences for German beef farmers/ 7.Adaptation of Irish beef farming systems to the Luxembourg agreement reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)/ 8.Impact of the new CAP on Italian beef farming systems/ 9.Impact of the new CAP on Spanish beef farming systems/ 10.Effects of the CAP Reform on Swedish Beef Production/ 11.Impact of the CAP reform on the evolution of beef production and beef farming systems in Europe: synthesis/ 12.Conclusions and recommendations of the 3rd EAAP Cattle Network Workshop/ Index/

* The new Common Agricultural Policy, launched in 2003 and implemented since 2005, appears as a big change mainly due to the introduction of the Single Payment Scheme and the decoupling of subsidies from production. EU beef production is one of the sectors mostly affected by the existing CAP regulations. This book addresses what the impact could be on the future of European beef farming systems and in what ways could beef farmers adapt in order to ensure the sustainability of their farms. *
