Overview: As atmospheric CO.2. increases there will almost certainlybe alterations in soil carbon fluxes. It is likely that suchalterations will be accompanied by changes in the partitioning ofcarbon between organic structures and to soil processes. These changeshave the potential for further altering the structure and function ofterrestrial ecosystems. While there has been increasing recognition ofthe importance of soil-mediated responses to global climate change,the nature and magnitude of these responses are not well understood.In an effort to expand our assessment of the significance ofbel

Overview: This book provides a synthetic and organized framework for the phenomenon of biological invasions.Unlike other current literature, this book focuses on research conducted in South American countries, .This book provides a conceptually organized framework to understand the phenomenon of biological invasions at the Anthropocene global scale. Most advances toward that aim have been provided from North American and European researchers, with fewer contributions from Australia and South Africa. Here we fill the void from the Neotropics, focusing on the research experience in South America

Overview: Aufgrund zunehmender Konkurrenz im Kreditgeschäft sind Banken gezwungen, eine durchgehend risikoadäquate Konditionenpolitik zu verfolgen. Die Entwicklung ausgefeilter Risikomanagementsysteme wird deshalb auch in diesem Bereich stark vorangetrieben. Achim Machauer untersucht das Verhalten von Banken im Kreditgeschäft mit mittelständischen Unternehmen anhand eines Datensatzes, der Kreditbeziehungen von fünf deutschen Großbanken beinhaltet. Im Vordergrund der Untersuchung steht die Analyse des Zusammenhangs zwischen dem Kreditnehmerrisiko und den vereinbarten Kreditkonditionen sowie dem
