Learn about species, environments, ecosystems and biodiversity in The Ecology Book. Part of the fascinating Big Ideas series, this book tackles tricky topics and themes in a simple and easy to follow format.
The text encourages an understanding of a world designed, not as a series of random evolutionary accidents, but instead as a wondrous, well-designed system of life around the globe created to enrich and support one another.
Ecological stoichiometry fits between these two approaches because it deals with the patterns and processes associated with the chemical content of species. Numerous ecological phenomena from the success or failure of populations to the ...
It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.
Plant acclimation and adaptation to low water is qualitatively different than adaptation to low nutrients (Killingbeck and Whitford 1996; Cunningham et al. 1999; Wright et al. 2001; Craine 2009). Plants in dry habitats typically have ...

This book will serve as an important resource for future scientists and conservation leaders who are seeking a more holistic and applicable approach to ecological science.
This important new work--the first of its kind--focuses on the distribution patterns of landscape elements or ecosystems; the flows of animals, plants, energy, mineral nutrients and water; and the ecological...
This text provides a concise and readable introduction to evolutionary ecology, a field of questions united by the intermix of evolutionary and ecological knowledge.
Drury & Nisbet ( 1973 ) suggest some adverse affects that reliance on developmental laws may have for ecology . Such laws invoke the developmental pattern as an endogenous process or one imposed by higher elements in an environmental ...
