Applied Ecology

By Edward I. Newman

This text describes how the science of ecology can be applied to achieving sustainable exploitation of the world's resources and to combatting problems such as pests and diseases, pollution, global warming, and survival of endangered species. Each chapter starts with questions, setting out applied problems, and the chapter then considers critically whether fundamental ecological knowledge can provide a basis for answers. Although any chapter can be read in isolation, the book will be particularly valuable to readers who want an overview of current world-wide environmental problems, and how ecology can contribute to their solution
