Wildlife Conservation in Farm Landscapes (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

An increasing number of Australians want to be assured that the food and fiber being produced there have been grown and harvested in an ecologically sustainable way. Ecologically sustainable farming conserves the array of species that are integral to key ecological processes such as pollination, seed dispersal, natural pest control and the decomposition of waste.

Wildlife Conservation in Farm Landscapes communicates new scientific information about best practice ways to integrate conservation and agriculture in the temperate eucalypt woodland belt of eastern Australia. Richly illustrated, with chapters on birds, mammals, reptiles, invertebrates and plants, this book illustrates how management interventions can promote nature conservation and what practices have the greatest benefit for biodiversity. Together the new insights in this book inform whole-of-farm planning.

FEATURES
* Spectacular images of restored and well-managed agricultural landscapes and the biota characteristic of these areas
* New information on the best ways to tackle issues associated with protecting areas of remnant vegetation, replanting/restoring native vegetation and the integration of conservation and agricultural production.
