Ecology and Control of Introduced Plants
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 69.00This book focuses on introduced plant species: where they come from, their impacts on native vegetation and ecosystems and the potential for their control. Aimed at advanced students and land managers, it contains practical explanations, case studies and an introduction to basic techniques for evaluating the impacts of invasive plants. more...
Biological Diversity and Function in Soils
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 67.00A better understanding of the dynamic roles of soils in ecosystems has followed advances in techniques for identifying and characterising the organisms and the community, at the same time as measuring major ecosystem processes. This book brings together and synthesises this material and puts soils in their wider ecological context. more...
Risks and Decisions for Conservation and Environmental Management
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 67.00A comprehensive guide to conducting environmental risk assessments for students, researchers and professionals in ecology, conservation and resource management. Coverage includes the philosophy of uncertainty and human objectivity in risky situations. Consideration is also given to how both subjective beliefs and technical analysis can be used to make... more...
Invertebrate Conservation and Agricultural Ecosystems
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 65.00This account deals with problems and approaches to invertebrate conservation in highly managed agricultural ecosystems, and how to promote biodiversity without compromising agricultural production. It draws attention to the significant functional importance of invertebrates in agriculture and in ecosystem functions, and the importance of conserving... more...
Nonequilibrium Ecology
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 64.00The idea that nature is in balance and is only occasionally disrupted by external influences is a central concept in biology. However, much evidence contradicts this assumption. Using evidence from fossil history, studies of plant and animal populations and communities, this book shows that nonequilibrium is more widespread than equilibrium. more...
The Ecology of Phytoplankton
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 79.00This important new book by Colin Reynolds covers the adaptations, physiology and population dynamics of phytoplankton communities. It provides basic information on composition, morphology and physiology of the main phyletic groups represented in marine and freshwater systems and in addition reviews recent advances in community ecology. more...
Ecology of Populations
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 72.00This book deals with basic spatial population processes, detailing how a number of fundamental problems relating to the abundance and distribution of organisms can be addressed, for example the effect of environmental variability. It aims to bring together analytical population dynamics, random processes and community structure into a common framework. more...
