Ecosystems (Routledge Introductions to Environment Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Ecosystems introduces the basic concepts of ecosystem theory and explores its role in solving environmental problems. Examining the development of the ecosystem concept, the book explains how these systems function, and analyzes the complex interactions between life and its physical environment. This book focuses on "real world" problems, such as the eutrophication of lakes of North America, and deforestation of Amazonian rainforests, through lively case studies and illustrations. In showing how the ecosystem approach gives a better scientific understanding of the topical and controversial issues of human impact on the natural environment, the consequences of environmental change, such as global warming, are thoroughly considered.
