Type: Book
Some present practices in studying ecosystem health are understood more easily when the genesis of the field of ecotoxicology is examined. However, future trends in the field of ecotoxicology will be most affected by (1) a rapidly expanding interest in the field of sustainable d…
"Consequences of increasing human populations and human manipulation of the environment are the loss of soil, clean air and water, native ecosystems, and biodiversity. Interdisciplinary in scope, Integrated Assessment of Ecosystem Health provides a new, proactive approach to env…
