Biodiversity and Environmental Change – Monitoring, Challenges and Direction

Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) researchers and other authors in the new book Biodiversity and Environmental Change have maintained monitoring sites, often for one or more decades, in an array of different ecosystems across the Australian continent. This book highlights some of the temporal changes in the environment that have occurred. By presenting trend patterns the authors aim to catalyse governments and other organisations to better recognise the importance of long-term data collection and monitoring as a fundamental part of ecologically-effective and cost-effective management of the environment and biodiversity.
