Reviews

“Covers a diverse range of taxonomic groups, from fungi to algae to crop plants and terrestrial mammal wildlife.”

—CHOICE,
Nov 2020

“Designed for those students and researchers who wish to become familiar with basic and advanced features of biodiversity, while the output of these efforts can be implemented to ensure sustainability and preservation of biodiversity. This volume provides a broad overview of different promising aspects of biodiversity and includes its different diverse aspects. Various chapters written by international experts in their respective specialties not only allow the reader to understand better the wide range of medical problems linked with environmental pollution, biodiversity, and sustainable development, but also to propose strategies to reduce the threat. The book should be useful to all those working on biodiversity, pollution eradication, and sustainable development.”

Environmental Pollution, Biodiversity, and Sustainable Development: Issues and Remediation provides an extensive summary of biodiversity. It is the result of the assistance of environmentalists, researchers, policy experts, and academicians from across the globe sharing their research and knowledge on biodiversity and ways to mitigate the threat from climate change, over-utilization of natural resources, pollution, and more. The volume considers that biodiversity encompasses a wide range of biological processes, ranging from genetic diversity, species, populations, communities and ecosystems, landscapes and regions.

This book, written by a panel of international experts in biodiversity, conservation biology, and evolution from different countries, including Iran, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Tajikistan, Russia, and others, highlights the human impact on biodiversity hotspots on a global scale.

Topics include:
  • The potential of phytoremediation
  • Community-based conservation efforts
  • Environmental pollution and the increasing risk of neurodegenerative diseases
  • Ways to determine the most appropriate diversity indices
The volume provides an abundance of valuable research for faculty, students, and researchers in environmental sciences; government agencies, and many others.
