Biodiversity in Drylands, the first internationally based synthesis volume in the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Series, unifies the concepts of species and landscape diversity with respect to deserts. Within this framework, the book treats several emerging themes, among them:
DT how animal biodiversity can be supported in deserts
DT diversity’s relation to habitat structure, environmental variability, and species interactions
DT the relation between spatial scale and diversity
DT how to use a landscape simulation model to understand diversity
DT microbial contributions to biodiversity in deserts
DT species diversity and ecosystem processes
DT resource partitioning and biodiversity in fractal environments
DT effects of grazing on biodiversity
DT reconciliation ecology and the future of conservation management
In the face of global change, integration is crucial for dealing with the problem of sustaining biodiversity. This book promises to be a vital resource for students, researchers, and managers interested in integrative species, resource, and landscape diversities.
