Biodiversity and Conservation in Europe

Biodiversity and Conservation in Europe edited by David L. Hawksworth, Alan T. Bull.

This book brings together a selection of original studies submitted to Biodiversity and Conservation that address biodiversity and conservation in Europe. Europe is certainly the most intensively inventoried region of the world; detailed maps are available for species distributions while action plan...
