Content:
"This book explains ways in which ecological science can be applied to solving some of the most crucial problems facing our world today. A major theme is how resources can be managed effectively and exploited in as near a sustainable manner as possible. The author draws together, in a single volume, major topics in environmental and resource management that traditionally have been dispersed amongst several different books. Applied Ecology starts with an analysis of our planet's basic natural resources - energy, water and soil; it moves on to the management of biological resources - fish, grazing lands and forests, and then to pest control and pollution; finally, the book tackles conservation and management of wild species and the restoration of ecological communities."
Content:
