The book: synthesizes a large body of information from the scientific literature; considers key theoretical principles for examining and predicting effects; examines the range of effects that can arise; explores ways of mitigating impacts; reviews approaches to studying the problem; and discusses knowledge gaps and future areas for research and management. 'Habitat Fragmentation and Landscape Change' offers a unique mix of theoretical and practical information, outlining general principles and approaches and illustrating those principles with case studies from around the world.It represents a definitive overview and synthesis on the full range of topics that fall under the widely used but often vaguely defined term 'habitat fragmentation.'
