Popis: This is a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of approaches for evaluating and monitoring the health of large-scale ecosystems. The examples drawn from a range of large-scale systems - desert to marine - provide the reader with a clear understanding of the meaning and practical implications of the ecosystem health paradigm for integrated natural resource management. Further, tools and approaches for evaluating large-scale systems from the use of biomarkers to remote sensing are described in detail. The book is an invaluable source for environmental managers, scientists, students and institutions working in the fields of ecosystem evaluation and management.
