Habitat Management for Invertebrates

This practical manual covers habitat management for invertebrates, drawing on the experience of years of work by many specialists. Invertebrates are much more sensitive than plants or vertebrates are to habitat changes, and their needs are not always being met, even on nature reserves. This book provides guidelines on how to take account of the vulnerable and important habitat features, without necessarily knowing what species are present.
