Description
The tasks facing ecologists now require collaboration with a wide range of specialists including scientists, engineers, and economists. Placing emphasis on areas that will most benefit from the application of scientific methods, this volume contains edited versions of papers presented at the Third International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development. Over 75 contributions highlighting recent work on different aspects of the engineering, modelling and theory of ecosystems are included. These are divided under the following headings: sustainable development issues; environmental and ecological policies; ecological modelling in environmental management; erosion and soil management; biodiversity; natural resource management; environmental risk; water resources issues; wetland and lakustrine issues; forestation issues; sustainable agro systems; energy generation and conservation; ecotoxicology models; and mathematical and system modelling.
