Description

This series of readings from "Conservation Biology" gives access to some of the finest papers ever published in a range of important fields. These readings on plant conservation help make course preparation easy - a ready-made collection of the most representative papers available in a format students can use. Readings should also be useful for researchers and academics needing an update in a specific subject area. All the disciplines that contribute to the study and preservation of species and habitats are represented in the series: population genetics, systematics, wildlife biology, ecosystems ecology, landscape ecology, economics, conservation management and environmental ethics.
