- Gives specific worked examples from the main ecosystems used for undergraduate study - seashore, lakes/ponds, field and woodland.
- Only introductory text specifically focused on field techniques.
- Great 'how-to' guide that will show student exactly how to carry out each method.
- Only text to emphasise the principles behind the techniques - taking a methods based approach rather than a taxonomic approach (eg chapters split into population measures, biodiversity measures, species richness measures rather than methods for invertebrates, methods for mammals, methods for birds etc).
- Greater emphasis on the equipment involved - how to make it, where to buy it.
- Good references to further reading and advanced techniques.
