Klappentext zu „Monitoring Ecological Change “
This book offers a practical introduction to how we measure, monitor and record changes taking place in living communities. The first part of the book describes the relevance and growth of ecological monitoring and the programmes and organizations involved. The book then goes on to describe the science of ecological monitoring in respect to spatial scales, temporal scales, indicators and indices. Much of the later part of the book provides an assessment of methods and monitoring in practice, including many case-study examples from around the world.

Rezension zu „Monitoring Ecological Change “
'... excellent and well written book ... the second edition of Monitoring Ecological Change is the equal of the first in accessibility, clarity and comprehensiveness. ... This highly technical and often complex subject matter is rendered clear and accessible ... this is a timely and useful addition to the literature. Spellerberg has managed to improve on an already impressive piece of work and I am sure it will be read, reread, and used by undergraduate and postgraduate students, practitioners, and fellow academics.' Biologist 'I recommend this book as introductory teaching tool mainly for the undergraduate and graduate students and also for research fellows and practitioners as it offers a profound insight into the science and practice of ecological monitoring, considering different levels of biodiversity and including examples from a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.'
