ISBN: 0792357175 ISBN-13: 9780792357179 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $161.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: July 1999 Annotation: This volume does not aim at merely adding to the vast and increasing number of individual publications on biodiversity'. Rather it is our objective to investigate biodiversity on the previously little studied coenosis and landscape levels. Phytosociological and animal-ecological fields are considered, as well as theoretical approaches to biodiversity and aspects of its application in nature and landscape protection and preservation. Since biodiversity has so far been predominantly studied in the Anglo-American area, it seemed to be of value to discuss this complex topic from a central and southern European viewpoint, based on data gathered in these regions, and thus to promote a global discussion. |
