This book is an exciting reappraisal of the role and practice of
biodiversity monitoring, showing how new technologies and software
applications are rapidly maturing and can both complement and
maintain continuity with the best practice in traditional field
skills. Environmental monitoring is a key component in a large
number of national programmes and constitutes an important aspect
of understanding environmental change and supporting policy
development. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Monitoring
Biodiversity begins by discussing monitoring as an established
field and examines the various budgetary and technological
challenges. It examines different methodologies, the variation
between countries, and the design features relevant to
understanding monitoring systems created for new policy goals or
different funding situations. The huge variety of methods revealed
across 18 chapters, which vary from statistical designs to remote
sensing, interviews, surveys, and new ways of stacking and
combining data and thematic information for visualization and
modelling, underlines just how mature and multifaceted the modern
practice of monitoring can be. It concludes with several
problem-based chapters that discuss the design and implementation
of environmental monitoring in specific scenarios such as urban and
aquatic areas. All chapters include key messages, study questions,
and further reading. With a focus on Europe but with international
relevance, Monitoring Biodiversity will be an essential resource
for students at all levels of environmental monitoring, assessment,
and management.
