Influence of Transport Infrastructure on Nature
About the book
The book Influence of Transport Infrastructure on Nature is a result of the International Scientific-Technical Conference that was organized on the initiative of the General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways, under the patronage of the Polish Ministry of Transport and Construction, on 13-15 September 2006 in Poznań (Poland). The conference was jointly organized by the Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań, the Agricultural University of Krakow, and the PKP Polish Railway Lines Company.
About 110 participants from 18 European countries came to the conference. There were 31 oral presentations, concerned with the most important problems associated with the impact of transport infrastructure (roads and railways) on the natural environment. According to the principles presented at the beginning, the oral presentations, discussion, and the field session organized by the Wielkopolska Motorway Company, focused on effects of the infrastructure on the organisms that live in the wild (fauna and flora).
This book is aimed to present the most important problems discussed by the conference participants. It includes 25 reviews and original articles, reflecting the current knowledge of the basic areas of the intensively developing research into the influence of transport infrastructure on nature. The set of articles presented in this book is interesting for several reasons. First of all, because they are devoted to general problems, including methodological ones, depending to a large extent on the geographic location of the study area. On the other hand, several articles describe examples of concrete problems and how they can be solved.
