Field Margin Vegetation and Socio-Ecological Environment

This book has been produced as a part of the project ‘Social-Ecological  Systems at the Indian Rural-Urban Interface: Functions, Scales, and  Dynamics of Transition’. It addresses transition processes in  agriculture and society triggered by urbanization, focusing on Bengaluru  as an example of a rapidly growing megacity in India. Adopting a  holistic, multidisciplinary approach embedded within a social-ecological  systems research framework, it explores how the physical and  socio-economic landscapes have led to changes in economic priorities,  which have overpowered ecological and traditional priorities with regard  to ecosystem governance. Allowing readers to gain a deeper  understanding of this unexplored dimension of socio-ecological systems,  this book is a valuable resource for international researchers, scholars  and master’s students in the field of environmental science,  socio-ecology, forestry and agriculture
