Aquatic Biomes: Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity explores the effects of anthropogenic activities on Earth’s aquatic biomes, species, and climate. It summarizes operational and potential monitoring tools to conserve or recover aquatic biomes at global scale. Written by international experts in ecology and biodiversity conservation, this book identifies the challenges and threats to aquatic organisms and connects them to real cases of conservation.
Aquatic Biomes: Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity is an important resource for students, professors, researchers, governmental and non-governmental organizations active in biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation seeking guidance on the best practices for aquatic biome conservation.
