Overview

This volume investigates biodiversity on the coenosis and landscape levels. Phytosociological and animal-ecological fields are considered, as well as theoretical approaches to biodiversity and aspects of its application in nature and landscape protection and preservation. Since biodiversity has so far been predominantly studied in the Anglo-American area, the author has discussed this complex topic from a central and southern European viewpoint, based on data gathered in these regions, to promote a global discussion.
