Springer - Ecology of Threatened Semi-Arid Wetlands Book

Explore the complex relationship between abiotic and biotic environments in this specialized scientific text. This volume focuses on long-term research conducted in Las Tablas de Daimiel to understand how wetlands function across different spatial and temporal scales. As wetlands play a significant role in influencing climate change and mitigating its effects, they have become one of the most threatened ecosystems globally. This book examines how unsustainable land-use practices and irrational water use lead to large-scale degradation and loss. By studying these processes, the text highlights why management based on insufficient knowledge can cause more damage than repair. This resource provides the necessary scientific foundation to develop sound management strategies for protecting these vital semi-arid ecosystems.
