The over-exploitation of important earth resources such as land
and water has led to a number of environment-related problems the
world over. At the same time, land-use change caused by various
human activities has led to extinction of many plant and animal
habitats and species. In this context, the relevance of
biodiversity for human survival is becoming a major international
political issue as scientific evidence builds on the global health
implications of biodiversity loss. These issues are closely linked
with the issue of climate change, as many of the health risks due
to climate change are associated with rapid degradation of
biodiversity. This present work focuses on holistic natural
resource-based spatio-temporal planning, development and management
and considers them as essential to save the degraded ecosystem for
sustainable resource management. Contributions are compiled in two
volumes: 1. Climate Change and Biodiversity and 2. Landscape
Ecology and Water Management. Geoinformatics along with its tools
such as remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
have been used in assessing the results of various environmental
problems both physical and social. These volumes will be useful for
geographers, geoscientists, hydrologists, landscape ecologists,
environmentalists, engineers, planners and policy makers.
