Sobre IBD

Landscapes are an important part of our ecosystem. They vary from tropical rain forests to deserts, from glaciers to wetlands, etc. This book emphasizes upon the scientific and educational aspects in understanding landscapes around the globe. It focuses upon the consequences of human activities and their impacts on landscapes. It explains various models, techniques and approaches in detail to analyse the human involvement, their perceptions and interactions with various landscapes. The book primarily aims to elucidate and suggest novel measures for improvements of landscapes and their surrounding ecosystems. Students, academicians and environmentalists will find this book full of innovative insights that would bring forth new topics for further discussion and research. 3
