Summary: "Fundamentals of Ecosystem Science, Second Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to modern ecosystem science covering land, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Ecosystem science is now applied to address a wide range of environmental problems. Written by a group of experts, this updated edition covers major concepts of ecosystem science, biogeochemistry, and energetics. Case studies of challenging environmental problems offer personal insights into how adopting an ecosystem approach has helped solve important intellectual and practical problems." -- Provided by publisher.
