Island Environments in a Changing World
- Collection : Prof Jim Green
- Publisher : Cambridge University Press
- Illustrations : col + b/w photos, text figs
Description:
This detailed study of island environments focuses on nine island groups, including Hawaii, New Zealand and the British Isles, exploring their differing geology, geography, climate and soils, as well as the varying effects of human actions. It illustrates the natural and anthropogenic disturbances common to island groups, all of which face an uncertain future clouded by extinctions of endemic flora and fauna, growing populations of invasive species, and burgeoning resident and tourist populations.
