Description

The species-area relationship (SAR) describes a range of related phenomena that are fundamental to the study of biogeography, macroecology and community ecology.

While the subject of ongoing debate for a century, surprisingly, no previous book has focused specifically on the SAR.

This volume addresses this shortfall by providing a synthesis of the development of SAR typologies and theory, as well as empirical research and application to biodiversity conservation problems.

It also includes a compilation of recent advances in SAR research, comprising novel SAR-related theories and findings from the leading authors in the field.

The chapters feature specific knowledge relating to terrestrial, marine and freshwater realms, ensuring a comprehensive volume relevant to a wide range of fields, with a mix of review and novel material and with clear recommendations for further research and application.
