The introductory sections of this volume present the basic rationale and principles involved in the development of the classification system for ecological diversity. The text describes the relevance of diversity classification to identification, inventory, habitat, and site-species relationships. Explanations of the classification and information systems and their application to inventory, analysis, and characterization of diversity form the core of the book.
