The uplands are a crucial source of ecosystem services, such as water provision, carbon retention, maintenance of biodiversity, provision of recreation value and cultural heritage. This puts them in the focus of both environmental and social scientists as well as practitioners and land managers.. This volume brings together a wealth of knowledge of the British uplands from diverse but interrelated fields of study, clearly demonstrating their importance in 21st Century Britain, and indicating how we may through interdisciplinary approaches meet the challenges provided by past and future drivers of environmental change.The upland environments are subject to change. They face imminent threats as well as opportunities from pressures such as climate change, changes in land management and related changes in fire risk, increases in erosion and water colour, degradation of habitats, altered wildlife and recreational value, as well as significant changes in the economy of these marginal areas. This book presents up-to-date scientific background information, addresses policy related issues and lays out pressing land management questions. A number of world-class experts provide a review of cutting-edge naturaland social science and an assessment of past, current and potential future management strategies, policies and other drivers of change. After appraisal of key concepts and principles, chapters provide specific examples and applications by focussing on UK upland areas and specifically the Peak District National Park as a key example for other highly valuable upland regions.

Peatlands provide globally important ecosystem services through climate and water regulation or biodiversity conservation. While covering only 3% of the earth's surface, degrading peatlands are responsible for nearly a quarter of carbon emissions from the land use sector. Bringing together world-class experts from science, policy and practice to highlight and debate the importance of peatlands from an ecological, social and economic perspective, this book focuses on how peatland restoration can foster climate change mitigation. Featuring a range of global case studies, opportunities for reclamation and sustainable management are illustrated throughout against the challenges faced by conservation biologists. Written for a global audience of environmental scientists, practitioners and policy makers, as well as graduate students from natural and social sciences, this interdisciplinary book provides vital pointers towards managing peatland conservation in a changing environment.

This open access book identifies and discusses biodiversity’s contribution to physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the book identifies the implications of this relationship for nature conservation, public health, landscape architecture and urban planning – and considers the opportunities of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation.This transdisciplinary book will attract a wide audience interested in biodiversity, ecology, resource management, public health, psychology, urban planning, and landscape architecture. The emphasis is on multiple human health benefits from biodiversity - in particular with respect to the increasing challenge of climate change. This makes the book unique to other books that focus either on biodiversity and physical health or natural environments and mental wellbeing. The book is written as a definitive ‘go-to’ book for those who are new to the field of biodiversity and health.

This book aims to identify, present and discuss key driving forces and pressures on ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are the contributions that ecosystems provide to human well-being. The scope of this atlas is on identifying solutions and lessons to be applied across science, policy and practice. The atlas will address different components of ecosystem services, assess risks and vulnerabilities, and outline governance and management opportunities. The atlas will therefore attract a wide audience, both from policy and practice and from different scientific disciplines. The emphasis will be on ecosystems in Europe, as the available data on service provision is best developed for this region and recognizes the strengths of the contributing authors. Ecosystems of regions outside Europe will be covered where possible.

Dieses Open-Access-Handbuch zu Citizen Science informiert erstmals umfassend in deutscher Sprache über Theorie, empirische Forschung und praxisrelevante Erfahrungen. Es werden aktuelle Forschungsansätze vorgestellt und praktische Herangehensweisen für die Durchführung von Citizen-Science-Projekten vermittelt und anhand von konkreten Fallstudien diskutiert. Konkrete Anleitungen für die Planung, Durchführung und Weiterentwicklung von Citizen Science-Projekten beantworten wichtige Fragen: Wie organisiere ich ein Citizen Science Projekt mit Freiwilligen? Welche Synergien gibt es mit der Wissenschaftskommunikation? Wie sichere ich Datenqualität und Datenmanagement? Welche Aspekte zu Recht und Ethik sollte ich beachten? Welche Anwendungen von neuen Technologien und Künstlicher Intelligenz gibt es? Welche Möglichkeiten ergeben sich für Archive, Bibliotheken, Museen und Wissenschaftsläden? Wie gelingt Integration von Citizen Science in wissenschaftliche Prozesse, Bildung und politische Entscheidungsprozesse? Über neunzig Autor*innen mit langjähriger Erfahrung in Citizen Science aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum beleuchten Möglichkeiten, Hindernisse und zukünftigen Bedarf in Citizen Science. Das für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Citizen Science benötigte Wissen ist in den einzelnen Kapiteln verständlich, anschaulich und kompakt zusammengefasst und bietet somit eine fundierte Grundlage sowohl für den Einstieg als auch die Vertiefung in Citizen Science. Citizen Science gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung in Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis - dies Handbuch ist daher hoch aktuell und zukunftsweisend.
