Klappentext zu „Climate Change and Biodiversity “
The over-exploitation of important earth resources such as land and water has led to a number of environment-related problems the world over. At the same time, land-use change caused by various human activities has led to extinction of many plant and animal habitats and species. In this context, the relevance of biodiversity for human survival is becoming a major international political issue as scientific evidence builds on the global health implications of biodiversity loss. These issues are closely linked with the issue of climate change, as many of the health risks due to climate change are associated with rapid degradation of biodiversity. This present work focuses on holistic natural resource-based spatio-temporal planning, development, and management and considers them as essential to save the degraded ecosystem for sustainable resource management. Contributions are compiled in two volumes: 1. Climate Change and Biodiversity and 2. Landscape Ecology and Water Management. Geoinformatics along with its tools such as remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS) have been used in assessing the results of various environmental problems both physical and social. The volume will be useful for geographers, geoscientists, hydrologists, landscape ecologists, environmentalists, engineers, planners and policy makers.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Climate Change and Biodiversity “

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:"The book aims to present a study of both natural and human realms and their climatic interactions, focusing on space and regions, addressing and questioning both short-term and long-term strategies. This work will be useful for students, researchers and teachers in various disciplines such as geoinformatics, geography, climatology, meteorology, forestry, environmental studies, ecology and biodiversity."
