Routledge Handbook of Urban Biodiversity de Charles H. Nilon

Routledge Handbook of Urban Biodiversity: Routledge Environment and Sustainability Handbooks

Editat de Charles H. Nilon, Myla F.J. Aronson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 oct 2023
This handbook provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the expanding field of urban biodiversity.
The field of urban biodiversity has emerged from within the broad discipline of urban ecology in the past two decades and is now a significant field in its own right. In view of this, the Routledge Handbook of Urban Biodiversity presents a thorough treatment of this field detailing the history of urban biodiversity, theoretical foundations, current state of knowledge, and application of that knowledge. The handbook is split into four parts:
  • Part I: Setting the Stage for Urban Biodiversity Research and Practice
  • Part II: Foundational Concepts and Theory in Urban Biodiversity Research
  • Part III: Population and Community Ecology of Key Urban Taxa
  • Part IV: Urban Biodiversity Practice: Management, Planning, and Design for Healthy Communities
This volume contains interdisciplinary and global contributions from established and early career academics as well as professionals and practitioners, addressing two key fields in urban biodiversity: fundamental research focused on answering questions about the mechanisms explaining the distribution of species among and within cities; and applied research and work by practitioners to address concerns about urban biodiversity conservation, restoration, planning, design, and public involvement.
This handbook is essential reading for students, academics, and professionals interested and working in the fields of urban biodiversity, ecology, nature conservation, urban planning, and landscape architecture.

Recenzii

“The earliest roots of urban ecology lie in the study of wild and domestic organisms in cities. Nilon
and Aronson show the depth and rigor of this research tradition, illustrate its crucial application
to conservation of global biodiversity, and point to the continued need and creative future for urban
biodiversity studies.”
Steward T.A. Pickett, Distinguished Senior Scientist, Cary Institute of
Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, New York , USA
 
“This is a blockbuster book for the urban century. From the fundamentals, science and theory of
urban biodiversity to practical management issues, Nilon and Aronson have produced a must-have
that should be on the bookshelf of every urban professional.”
Karen C. Seto , Frederick C. Hixon Professor of Geography &
Urbanization Science, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
 
“Rapid urbanization at global scale exerts serious threats to urban biodiversity which is of great
importance for conservation in terms of implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity
Framework; Urban development can not be successful unless its biodiversity is sustainably
utilized. The book offers readers opportunities to understand concepts and theory for urban biodiversity
and learn best practices in using and conserving it.”
Keping Ma , Vice Chair and Secretary General, Biodiversity Committee,
Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China
 
“Old concepts of cities and nature being two separate worlds have been overturned. Studies of the
close interplay of urban conditions and high biodiversity are yielding a new understanding of the
structure of urban nature and its importance to the human experience. This book sets a new standard
for explaining the ecological foundations of urban nature, the current state of knowledge, the
role of human actions and management on city species, and a path forward for new research and
new collaborations. Cities are expanding rapidly across the globe; this Handbook will be a guide
to incorporating modern ecological perspectives to the design of healthier, more resilient urban
landscapes and improving conservation of the rich urban biodiversity.”
Steven N. Handel , Distinguished Professor of Ecology, Rutgers,
The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, New Jersey , USA
