Conservation and Management of Biodiversity and Landscapes: A Challenge in the Era of Global Change

摘要: The study of biodiversity is commonly carried out through different approaches, such as those at the level genetics, species, communities/ecosystems, and landscapes. group geneticists, geobotanists landscape researchers Department agriculture, food environmental sciences has been dealing with this topic for many years. In chapter, principal research lines followed during last thirty years are briefly described in order to put best results achieved future targets into evidence. For geobotany, main fields involve phytosociology, syntaxonomy, vegetation mapping, species habitat conservation, ethnobotany ecology agroecosystems. Regarding genetic biodiversity, plant genetics breeding dealt collection, evaluation molecular characterization some populations grass pea Marche region. Concerning level, focused on rural role geomatics, robotics new technologies analyzing spatial heterogeneity, importance a bionomics approach its interfaces, integration economic development sustainable growth.
