Human activities impact the environment and modify the cycles of important elements such as carbon and nitrogen from local to global scales. In order to maintain long-term and sustainable use of the world's natural resources it is important that we understand how and why ecosystems respond to such changes. This book explains the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, using examples ranging from the Arctic to the tropics to demonstrate how they react under differing conditions. This knowledge is developed into a set of principles that can be used as starting points for analysing questions about ecosystem behaviour. Ecosystem dynamics ... Read more

Reviews for Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology: Principles and Applications
"Interestingly written and illustrated with clear functional graphs and charts... Highly recommended." R.L. Smith for Choice Magazine
