Description
This book addresses new developments and recent research which can be used to assess or predict contaminant effects on ecological systems. It considers both laboratory and field oriented approaches, with particular emphasis being placed upon experimental applications of fundamental ecological principles. The papers focus on ecological issues of environmental management, highlighting the methods of ecosystem analysis and prediction which can be used in a regulatory context.
