LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Linking Theory with Practice Edited by John A. Bissonette and Ilse Storch
Landscape Ecology and Resource Management bridges the gap between the science of landscape ecology and on-the-ground land and resource mangement, relating the theory and empirical research within landscape ecology to the practical needs of resource managers. It offers both a conceptual foundation of application and operational theory and casestudy examples that address ways in which political, economic, and social factors influence the use of landscape ecology and other data-based science around the world. Contributors focus on links between theory and practice, between small-scale and large-scale, and between humans and nature. Specific linkages examined include: • landscape patterns and biological reality John A. Bissonette is research scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey and professor in the College of Natural Resources at Utah State University; his books include Wildlife and Landscape Ecology (Springer-Verlag, 1997). Ilse Storch is research scientist and lecturer with the Weihenstephan Centre of Life Sciences at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen in Munich, Germany, and chairs the IUCN Grouse Specialist Group. 6x9 • 480 pages • Tables, figures, maps, photos, index November 2002 Cl: $65.00 • ISBN: 1-55963-972-5 Pa: $32.50 • ISBN: 1-55963-973-3 World, All Languages Ecology/Resource management
