Monitoring Ecological Change

A practical and thought-provoking introduction to the subject of monitoring ecological and biological change. In the early chapters, the roles of local, national and international organisations which implement monitoring programmes are discussed. A wide range of examples are then used to explain and evaluate methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation. The final section focuses on the important applications of ecological monitoring, such as pollution control and the monitoring of rare species.Spellerberg, Ian F. is the author of 'Monitoring Ecological Change' with ISBN 9780521424073 and ISBN 0521424070.
