Ramesh, Rajan GurukkalPondichéry Institut Français de Pondichéry20201 online resource (328 p.) Mondes Indiens/South Asia81-8470-155-1 The Western Ghats forests are endowed with large species and habitat diversity, which is nowadays under threat by increasing demographic pressure and changing land use. To address these challenges, a novel and comprehensive approach is sought from the principles of landscape ecology. Morpho-pedological features are used to delineate landscape units all over the Western Ghats of Kerala, among which the Western Anamalai region is chosen to elucidate the relative influence of physical factors, bioclimate and anthropogenic pressures on the characteristics of natural vegetation and on the status of the vertebrate fauna. Highlighting patterns of resource utilization by proximal and distant stakeholders, the book goes about identifying value-based management zones, while proposing management strategies for conservation and sustainable development.Environmental Studiesbiodiversitéécologie humaineécologie du paysageGhâts occidentauxbiodiversityWestern Ghatshuman ecologylandscape ecologyforest managementbiodiversityWestern Ghatshuman ecologylandscape ecologyforest managementEnvironmental Studiesbiodiversitéécologie humaineécologie du paysageGhâts occidentauxbiodiversityWestern Ghatshuman ecologylandscape ecologyforest managementAmruth M1324737Aravajy S1324738Balasubrahmanian M1324739Balasubramanian M1235659Bourgeon Gérard1324740Couteron Pierre1324741Gurukkal Rajan1324742Kala J.C1324743Karunakaran P.V1324744Lo Seen Danny1324745Ramesh B.R1324746Sankar G. Muthu1324747Ramesh B.R1324746Gurukkal Rajan1324742FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910496044103321Forest landscapes of the southern western Ghats, India3036247UNINA
