  abstract: Human impact on natural landscapes through urbanization and agricultural expansion becomes more and more dramatic and causes serious environmental problems. This volume examines the effect of landscape disturbance on plant and animal diversity in the five mediterranean-climate regions of the world. It begins with three introductory chapters broadly reviewing the issues of landscape degradation. Further contributions describe regional land use conflicts in each of the five regions. Landscape disturbance and plant diversity and landscape disturbance and animal diversity are treated in separate chapters. Four contributions deal with demography and ecophysiology in vegetation succession following disturbance. The volume closes with a consideration of the future addressing aspects of environmental politics.
  table of contents: Introduction (3 chapters) -- Land Use Conflicts in Mediterranean-Type Ecosystems (6 chapters) -- Landscape Disturbance and Plant Diversity (4 chapters) -- Demography and Ecophysiology of Succession (4 chapters) -- Landscape Disturbance and Animal Diversity (5 chapters) -- The Future (1 chapter).
