Description

Over the pasta few decades, there have been many changes in the Yorkshire countryside, with dramatic effects on semi-natural habitats and their wildlife. The rapidly changing climate adds further challenges for flora and fauna. This book, based on papers delivered at a conference held in Sheffield, focuses on those species and habitats which are recovering and are experiencing a rise after a previous fall in their fortunes.
