Climate change in wildlands : pioneering approaches to science and management /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This volume is a collaboration between scientists and managers, providing a science-derived framework and common-sense approaches for keeping parks and protected areas healthy on a rapidly changing planet. Scientists have been warning for years that human activity is heating up the planet and climat...
