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.
