Next Generation Biomonitoring: Part 1. Advances in Ecological Research Volume 58

摘要

Next Generation Biomonitoring: Part 1 is a collection of contributed papers that addresses the gap between the conceptual simplicity of biomonitoring (i.e., observe and record) and the challenges in implementing large-scale efforts to gather high-quality data. Biomonitoring data are critical for developing, executing, and assessing conservation policy, as well as growing our fundamental understanding of the interaction between ecosystem patterns and processes. The book emphasizes methodological approaches in molecular ecology, ecoinformatics, and remote sensing that have been developed in the last 15 years in a deliberate shift away from the use of methods that were designed for smaller scale and less-intensive monitoring.
