Innovative Conservation Techniques and Perspectives: Global Biome Conservation and Global Warming Impacts on Ecology and Biodiversity explores operational and potential monitoring tools to conserve and/or recover biomes at a global scale. Written by international experts in ecology and biodiversity conservation, this book identifies operational, emerging, and proposed methods for land monitoring and management across the world’s biomes. This important resource on biodiversity is an ideal resource for students, professors, researchers, and both governmental and non-governmental organizations active in biodiversity conservation.
