Researchers working on natural resource management issues in human-influenced landscapes need to be able to elicit both biophysical and socio-economic information and explore the interactions between these realms to identify appropriate management options. Biophysical scientists are increasingly interested in researching natural resource management. This, however, requires a sensitivity to the socio-ecological dimensions in a landscape and at least a basic understanding of how to incorporate such in the research designing phase.
Natural Resource Management Issues in Human-Influenced Landscapes documents the firsthand research designing experience of prolific researchers for the knowledge of budding researchers, which is not usually shared in journal publications. The chapters showcase cases narrated by the authors about their field experiences and cross-country comparisons. Covering topics such as biodiversity, plant genetic resources, and sustainable production, this premier reference source is an essential resource for ecologists, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
