A Pattern
Herausgeber: Jorgensen, Sven Erick

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book is the first to combine existing (and different) ecosystem theories into an integral pattern, which shows that systems ecology can offer a full theoretical pattern. This may be of importance for development of ecology, ecosystem theory and environmental science. The holistic view is required to solve global problems.
