Produktinformationen zu „Landscape Ecology (ePub)“

The growing science of landscape ecology quantifies the ways ecosystems interact. Landscape Ecology: A Top-Down Approach serves as a general introduction to this emerging area of study. The authors give a historical perspective in order to assess and critique current conservation management practices. They provide insight into landforms and geomorphocological processes that is essential in the understanding of the ecology of landscapes. The book presents a discussion of the "fragmented landscape," focusing on the changes that need to be made for conservation management in the future and includes a complete discussion of Habitat Conservation Planning.
