Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming: Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity

Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming: Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity assesses the status of all global aquatic and terrestrial biomes, including impacts on species biodiversity and biome climates. It summarizes operational and potential monitoring tools to conserve or to recover biomes on a global scale, using proven scientific case studies. This is a collaborative project with experts from around the world who specialize in types of biomes or regional studies to create a global picture of climate change and human impacts. This links the main challenges and threats causing major biome decline to their living organisms, such as arthropods, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming: Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity is a vital resource for conservationists and scientists studying biodiversity, ecology, and zoology amidst global climate change. Students, academics, and policy makers can also benefit from the practical case study information included in this book Provides proven case studies for conservation and recovery efforts per habitat or biomeCovers freshwater and marine biomes, including all major oceansAlso covers terrestrial biomes from all continents, including deserts, tundras, insular biomes, and moreExplains the use of ecological indicators, e-DNA, and remote sensing to analyze biome conditions INDICE: Section I: Freshwater 1.
