Description
In recent years, public opinion has become more environmentally conscious, but the politicisation of environmental problems, at least in the U.K., has tended to overlook the pressing need for more research on the factors which control and influence the survival of plants and animals in our countryside. This volume examines the progress of research in recent years by conservation ecologists in temperate regions, but does not ignore the relevance of this in a global context. The volume stresses the importance of ecological science as a basis for conservation and considers all-embracing, unifying topics
