Handbook of Ecosystem Theories and Management (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Muller, Felix

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Handbook of Ecosystem Theories and Management provides an overview of ecosystem theory and the tools available to manage these systems such as ecological engineering, ecological modeling, ecotoxicology, and ecological economics. The comprehensive treatment of ecosystem theory and application of theoretical tools, and the integration of classical theory and real world examples, sets this book apart. It covers newly emerging as well as nontraditional topics that will interest established professionals and enlighten those now entering into formal training. Line drawings, equations, photographs, and tables illustrate the material covered.
