An interdisciplinary book tackling the challenges of managing peatlands and their ecosystem services in the face of climate change.
Provides a state-of-the-art review of recent conceptual developments concerning the roles of plant secondary metabolites in the natural environment.
The successful conservation of bird species relies upon our understanding of their habitat use and requirements. In the coming decades the importance of such knowledge will only grow as climate change, the development of new energy sources and the needs of a growing human population intensify the, already significant, pressure on the habitats that birds depend on. Drawing on valuable recent advances in our understanding of bird-habitat relationships, this book provides the first major review of avian habitat selection in over twenty years. It offers a synthesis of concepts, patterns and issues that will interest students, researchers and conservation practitioners. Spatial scales ranging from landscape to habitat patch are covered, and examples of responses to habitat change are examined. European landscapes are the main focus, but the book has far wider significance to similar habitats worldwide, with examples and relevant material also drawn from North America and Australia.
This book presents a timely collection of pioneering work in the study of these diverse and fascinating ecosystems. It consists of facsimiles of papers chosen by world experts in tropical biology as the 'classics' in the field.
An insightful guide to understanding conflicts over the conservation of biodiversity and groundbreaking strategies to deal with them.
A diverse account of how life exists in extreme environments and these systems' susceptibility and resilience to climate change.
Examining the interaction of bottom-up and top-down forces, it presents a unique synthesis of trophic interactions within and across ecosystems.
Introduces readers to key case studies that illustrate how theory and data can be integrated to understand wildlife disease ecology.
An overview of our current understanding of how people influence, and are influenced by, the 'green' component of urban environments.
Discover how conservation can be made more effective through strengthening links between science research, policy and practice. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
