Physical Geography and Biodiversity

This book on physical geography and biodiversity deals with the study of terrestrial weather systems and its relation to natural habitats and feeding patterns of animals. The latest research in this field has yielded data that is capable of highlighting areas of potential risk as well as diversity-rich regions. The drive for greater technical input in order to aid the study of the various ecological systems has led to the development of geographical information systems, databases and computer models. Themes included in this book discuss the global impact of species extinction, climate change and animal migration. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of physical geography. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
