The United Arab Emirates, often known for its ultramodern skyscrapers and sprawling sand dunes, holds a surprising diversity of ecosystems and habitats that support a remarkable array of organisms. However, these natural assets, which have historically been underappreciated, are now gaining increasing recognition for their ecological significance. A Natural History of the Emirates offers a comprehensive exploration of the unique environmental landscape of this young nation, providing a survey of the major ecosystems and the diverse marine and terrestrial organisms that inhabit them.
Spanning from the freshwater streams nestled in the hyperarid Hajar Mountains to the world's most temperature-tolerant coral reefs, the UAE boasts an astounding variety of uniquely adapted organisms. These organisms offer valuable insights into climate change and the remarkable ways in which organisms cope with and respond to extreme environmental conditions.
The book concludes with a section that examines human interactions with this extraordinary environment, highlighting the need for initiatives to safeguard these unique natural assets for future generations. This open-access book aims to increase awareness and promote the conservation of these invaluable natural resources.
The United Arab Emirates, with its breathtaking landscapes and diverse ecosystems, serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of nature. By studying the unique organisms that inhabit these regions, we can gain valuable insights into the challenges posed by climate change and the importance of preserving our natural heritage.
