In recent decades, there has been an increased need to understand
ecosystems in order to be able to manage them for conservation and
sustainable use. Yet examples of how research directly supports
conservation are rare. This book examines the impact of
disturbance, specifically habitat fragmentation and forest
harvesting in national parks. This book also presents the results
of observations of bulk deposition and its physico-chemical
properties in national parks in Poland and tries to identify
tendencies of change in its composition. In addition, research on
Uganda's forest and savanna parks are reviewed, stimulating
thinking about what kind of research is of value in guiding
conservation actions. Over the past several decades, a highly
polarised debate has emerged in the conservation literature about
whether national parks in lesser developed countries should follow
the "Yellowstone model" of strict protection or whether new types
of national park should be developed. The authors of this book
assess the U.S. national park experience and ways in which to
balance people's needs and desires with nature protection in
national parks. Other chapters in this book examine the abundance
and diversity of vertebrate fauna in national parks in India, the
roles of rhodolith beds and their impact in the marine national
parks of the Gulf of California management, the impacts of multiple
or extreme storms on national seashores, and the impact of invasive
plant species on biodiversity and ecological integrity of national
parks.
