Perspectives on Nature Conservation demonstrates the diversity of information and viewpoints that are critical for appreciating the gaps and weaknesses in local, regional and hemispheric ecologies, and also for understanding the limitations and barriers to accomplishing critical nature conservation projects. The book is organized to emphasize the linkages between the geographic foci of conservation projects and the biological substances that we conceptualize as "nature", through original research. The reader moves through perspectives of diminishing spatial scales, from smaller to larger landscapes or larger portions of the Earth, to learn that the range of factors that promote or prevent conservation through the application of scholarship and academic concepts change with the space in question. The book reflects disciplinary diversity and a co-mingling of science and social science to promote understanding of the patterns of, pressures on and prospects for conservation.
Die Europäische Union hat mit der Etablierung der Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Richtlinie (92/43/EWG) und der Vogelschutzrichtlinie (79/409/EWG) das Schutzgebietssystem Natura 2000 begründet, welches die biologische Vielfalt der Arten und Lebensräume dauerhaft sichern und entwickeln soll. Der Band 2.2 dieses FFH-Handbuchs ist der zweite von drei Teilbänden einer erheblich erweiterten Neuauflage (der Grundlagenband, Band 1 ist in Vorbereitung; Teilband 2.1 mit den LRT 1110 bis 5130 ist Anfang 2021 erschienen). In detaillierten Steckbriefen werden der zweite Teil der 93 in Deutschland vor-kommenden und zu schützenden Lebensraumtypen (LRT 6110 bis 9430) in Wort und Bild beschrieben. Dazu wurden u. ...

Knowing the history and context of a piece of landscape is an unfortunately often neglected necessity for planning disciplines (including conservation and forestry). Just as a doctor can only suggest an appropriate therapy if he knows the antecedents of the disease, the possible or appropriate changes to, for example, a forest can only be seriously considered if the historical, economic and social causes for its creation and current state are described and understood. The present work undertakes this comprehensive description for the remaining oak-hornbeam forest relicts, and widespread beech forests near Göttingen. Since vegetation science is understood here as an art of telling the story(...
