Reviews for Biodiversity in a Changing Climate: Linking Science and Management in Conservation
This is a well-edited book on the implications of climate change for management and conservation in California. Its value ranges beyond California in part because of the diversity of ecosystems is greater than in any other state, and because the generalities derived and questions raised are applicable beyond the third largest of the 50 states. The Quarterly Review of ... Read more
