Nature Conservation: The Role of Remnants of Native Vegetation

Quarto hardcover with blue cloth boards; 410 pp.; gilt title to spine and front board. Pictorial endpapers; b/w tables and figures + full-color plates. Tight binding, clean throughout. Light edge wear; faint 4 inch crease to half-title page (not impacting text). Very Good. DJ: Light cover wear; mild fading to spine. Very Good. A significant scientific compilation focusing on the preservation and management of fragmented native ecosystems. Addresses the critical role that small remnants of original vegetation play in maintaining genetic diversity and providing habitat for plant and animal species restricted by land clearing. Divided into four primary themes, the work covers ecological studies as a basis of management, population genetics, monitoring dynamics of remnants, and practical management strategies. It represents a collaborative effort between researchers, planners, and land managers to integrate conservation research into efficient land use practices.
