Abstract

Landscape Ecology is a rapidly growing science of quantifying the ways in which ecosystems interact. It establishes the links between activities in one region and repercussions in another. This book, which is a general introduction to this relatively new and emerging area, takes what the author calls a top-down approach. The author believes that context is equally as important as content and that an isolated, dismembered landscape fragment will lose biodiversity. This is in contrast to previous and current ecosystem studies that have not focused on outside influences. The author argue that the most detailed models of biodiversity within a landscape will not predict the outcome of management practices if the contextual analysis reveals that human impacts outside the landscape are contributing to a reserves ultimate demise. The author will demonstrate that protecting disconnected vignettes of nature in isolated national parks and reserves or saving hot-spots of biodiversity will not work.

Abstract

Geostatistics is essential for modern environmental scientists. Weather and climate vary from place to place, soil varies at every scale at which it is examined, and even man-made attributes - such as the distribution of pollution - vary. The techniques used in geostatistics are ideally suited to the needs of environmental scientists, who use them to make the best of sparse data for prediction, and to plan future surveys when resources are limited.* Concise but comprehensive introduction to the latest statistical techniques* Strong emphasis on practical applications throughout* Illustrated with worked examples from soil surveys* Coverage of more advanced topics, such as multivariate analysis* Contains a step-by-step summary of the procedure needed to analyse survey dataSampling, data screening, spatial covariances, the variogram and its modelling, and spatial prediction by kriging are described in rich detail. At each stage the underlying theory is fully explained, and the rationale behind the choices given, allowing the reader to appreciate the assumptions and constraints involved.Environmental scentists will find this text an invaluable guide to geostatistics, and the lucid style will suit the needs of advanced undergraduates and graduate students of spatial variation and environmental science.
