The author draws together, in a single volume, major topics in environmental and resource management that have traditionally been dispersed among several different books. \u003ci\u003eApplied Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e starts with an analysis of our planet's basic natural resources - energy, water and soil; it moves on to the management of biological resources - fish, grazing lands and forests, and then to pest control and pollution. Finally, the book tackles conservation and management of wild species and the restoration of ecological communities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003esecond edition\u003c\/i\u003e of this text has been radically redesigned and rewritten. Each chapter starts with a list of questions, setting out the various fundamental problems to be considered. Interwoven with these practical problems is a clear explanation of the underlying basic science - ecology - studied at scales ranging from global, landscape and ecosystem, down to the population and individual (and even their physiology and genetics). The science is illustrated by examples from every major geographic area of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed primarily at undergraduate students taking courses in applied ecology, environmental science, environmental management and natural resources management. The author has extensive experience as a university teacher.
