Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Like most metropolitan areas, the urbanized Santa Clara Valley is a challenging place for plants and animals to make a home. Fragmented by highways, parking lots and buildings, the urban landscape is full of barriers to movement and stressors for wildlife.

With careful planning of urban greening projects (vegetation improvements), our local cities have the potential to support much greater biodiversity. By integrating urban ecology, landscape history and analysis of local setting, this guide helps inform how to design, place and implement projects to support biodiversity in urban Santa Clara Valley.
