Handbook of Biodiversity Methods: Survey, Evaluation and MonitoringDavid Arnold Hill Biodiversity is recognised to be of global importance, yet species and habitats continue to be under increasing pressure from human-induced influences. This Handbook provides standard procedures which will enable practitioners to better monitor the condition of the biodiversity resource, resulting in improved data upon which to base future policy decisions and actions. Organised in three parts, the Handbook first addresses planning, covering method selection, experimental design, sampling strategy, and data analysis/evaluation. Parts 2 and 3 then describe detailed methods of survey, evaluation and monitoring of habitats and species respectively. |
