Case studies in the conservation of biodiversity: degradation and threats

2003-05-01

Abstract excerpt

The rating of biodiversity in arid and semiarid regions on the basis of ecological function and genetic traits of adaptation to severe environmental stresses produces significantly higher values, than that based solely on the commonly applied structural criteria of forms of life and levels of organization. The indirect driving forces of biodiversity impoverishment listed in the Global Biodiversity Strategy that ar...
