Therefore, an understanding of the dynamics of such arid ecosystems is essential to managing those systems in a way that sustains human populations. This second edition of \u003ci\u003eEcology of Desert Systems\u003c\/i\u003e provides a clear, extensive guide to the complex interactions involved in these areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book details the relationships between abiotic and biotic environments of desert ecosystems, demonstrating to readers how these interactions drive ecological processes. These include plant growth and animal reproductive success, the spatial and temporal distribution of vegetation and animals, and the influence of invasive species and anthropogenic climate change specific to arid systems. Drawing on the extensive experience of its expert authors, \u003ci\u003eEcology of Desert Systems \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential guide to arid ecosystems for students looking for an overview of the field, researchers keen to learn how their work fits in to the overall picture, and those involved with environmental management of desert areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45310092640407,"sku":"9780128150559","price":8357.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780128150559.webp?v=1769287006","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ecology-of-desert-systems-9780128150559","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
