This fully revised second edition illustrates key aspects of effective monitoring.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Long-term monitoring programmes are fundamental to understanding the natural environment and managing major environmental problems. Yet they are often done very poorly and ineffectively. This second edition of the highly acclaimed Effective Ecological Monitoring describes what makes monitoring programmes successful and how to ensure that long-term monitoring studies persist.

The book has been fully revised and updated but remains concise, illustrating key aspects of effective monitoring with case studies and examples. It includes new sections comparing surveillance-based and question-based monitoring, analysing environmental observation networks, and provides examples of adaptive monitoring.

Based on the authors’ 80 years of collective experience in running long-term research and monitoring programmes, Effective Ecological Monitoring is a valuable resource for the natural resource management, ecological and environmental science and policy communities.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Effective Ecological Monitoring is praised for distilling extensive experience into a guide on studying the extended processes of ecological change. The book is valued for illuminating both practical and profound intellectual challenges associated with long-term scientific studies.
