Produktbeschreibung

Biodiversity in Drylands, the first internationally based synthesis volume in the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Series, unifies the concepts of species and landscape diversity with respect to deserts. Within this framework, the book treats several emerging themes, among them: DT how animal biodiversity can be supported in deserts DT diversity's relation to habitat structure, environmental variability, and species interactions DT the relation between spatial scale and diversity DT how to use a landscape simulation model to understand diversity DT microbial contributions to biodiversity in deserts DT species diversity and ecosystem processes DT resource partitioning and biodiversity in fractal environments DT effects of grazing on biodiversity DT reconciliation ecology and the future of conservation management In the face of global change, integration is crucial for dealing with the problem of sustaining biodiversity. This book promises to be a vital resource for students, researchers, and managers interested in integrative species, resource, and landscape diversities.
