No customer reviews yet ISBN 9783032166401

Roads and transportation infrastructures are among the most extensive human-made transformations on Earth--shaping landscapes, enabling connectivity, and driving economic growth. Yet, behind these undeniable benefits lies a complex web of ecological consequences. Roads fragment habitats, alter ecosystems, and influence biodiversity in ways that ripple across the planet, raising urgent questions for sustainable development. This groundbreaking book is the first to comprehensively present both the current state of knowledge and future directions in the emerging discipline of Road Ecology. Organized into 5 sections, it offers a clear and accessible structure:

  1. Road-Related Impacts - How roads affect ecosystems and species
  2. Global Perspectives - Insights from Road Ecology research worldwide
  3. Organism-Level Effects - From plants to wildlife, understanding species-specific responses
  4. Emerging Topics - Innovative approaches and future challenges.
Each chapter concludes with a forward-looking perspective, ensuring readers gain not only a deep understanding of today's science but also a vision for tomorrow's solutions. This essential resource addresses a long-standing gap: the difficulty of integrating all aspects of Road Ecology into a single, coherent reference. By promoting a multidisciplinary approach, it empowers scientists, students, and stakeholders--such as road authorities, wildlife managers, and conservation planners--to mitigate ecological costs while enhancing societal benefits. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or an environmentally conscious reader, this book offers the knowledge and tools to navigate one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
