Ecology - Second Edition

Viac o knihe

The book should primarily be considered a guide to human ecology for the importance placed on principles relevant to humans. For this reason, it may be suitable for both general environmental education and scientific degree courses. Instead of proposing the usual approach aimed at quickly repairing environmental damage, it emphasizes long-term solutions and their potential outcomes. The interrelationships in terms of energy between natural, agricultural, and urban ecosystems are extensively discussed, along with the necessity, to reduce pollution, of shifting focus from the outputs of production systems to the management of inputs.
