Monitoring Nature Conservation in Cultural Habitats: : A Practical Guide and Case Studies

Monitoring Nature Conservation in Cultural Habitats presents monitoring as an integral component of responsible conservation management and as a catalyst for decision making. The early sections of the book cover key areas in the development of a monitoring project, including: - The roles of survey and surveillance - Incorporating knowledge from existing research - Identifying the conservation priority on sites - Minimising observer error - Identifying site-specific condition indicators for habitats - Collecting monitoring data The later sections of the book comprise a series of case studies covering a wide range of habitats and species. These case studies focus mostly, though not exclusively, on sites that form part of the Natura 2000 series in Europe.Hurford, Clive is the author of 'Monitoring Nature Conservation in Cultural Habitats: : A Practical Guide and Case Studies', published 2007 under ISBN 9781402065651 and ISBN 1402065655.
