Welcome
to GLOBIMED Thematic Network. Introduction.
Although Mediterranean ecosystems
have suffered throughout history from human action, the pace and intensity
of environmental change resulting from human activity in recent decades
is unprecedented. The heightened pace of these changes requires better
knowledge of the ecology of these systems both in order to be able
to foresee possible losses of biodiversity and to intervene and properly
manage the natural resources of these ecosystems with a view towards
their conservation.
