First sentence: Human actions, motivated by social and economic driving forces, generate various pressures on biodiversity, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change, land use related disturbance patterns, or species invasions that have an impact on biodiversity from the genetic to the ecosystem level.
Description: This book describes the challenges that arise in studying and conserving biodiversity across different scales. It describes a wide range of practical methods and recommendations to improve conservation at continental and global scales. The book aims to bundle the main results of SCALES in a comprehensive manner and present it in a way that is usable not only for scientists but also for people making decisions in administration, management, policy or even business.
