The continuing sensitivity of drylands to desertification, the fact that they occupy 40% of the world's terrestrial area, and the increasing human populations in these regions, make the understanding of their biodiversity and its changes over time of central importance. Drylands also provide a natural laboratory to address general questions about biodiversity, ecological succession, etc., because the relative spareness of the landscape allows one to isolate all the variables more effectively than can be done in biologically richer terrains. 410 0$aLong-Term Ecological Research Network series. 606 $aArid regions ecology 606 $aArid regions biodiversity 615 0$aArid regions ecology. 615 0$aArid regions biodiversity. 676 $a577.54 702 $aShachak$b Moshe 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784660103321 996 $aBiodiversity in drylands$93729801 997 $aUNINA
