Multidisciplinary approaches for conservation issues

Abstract:

The objective of this chapter is to show that the integration of different but complementary disciplines, such as palaeoecology, genetics and species modelling, can provide us with pertinent information on the environmental changes which have impacted plant species across time and, therefore, can contribute to setting better strategy for preserving species. Thus, a scientific-based management strategy for preserving species requires the integration of several disciplines, such as ecology, climatology, genetics, and modeling. In order to be pertinent and efficient at managing species under any different climate from that of today, we need this integrated multidisciplinary approach within a historic data frame.
