OverviewUrban Habitats presents an illustrated and practical guide to the wide range of urban habitats and the flora and fauna which live within them, and examines the most important conservation and managagement issues presently being faces within our towns and cities. Following an explanation of the nature of urban habitats, the range of habitat types, and typical plant and animal species, are described in detail. Topics of concern to the conservationalist or habitat manager are explored: the impacts and monitoring of pollution; the effects of invasive species; and guidelines for the ecological managment of sites to enhance their nature conservation value. A series of case studies illustrate the pressures on some major urban habitat types, and the opportunities to enhance them for nature conservation. Featuring up to date references and data; illustrated with 33 species boxes with typical plants and animals, and a series of projects on the ecology, behaviour and distribution of urban species, students, environmentalists and the urban dweller will gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the rapidly expanding urban environment through this illuminating habitat guide book.
