Description
Ecotoxicology is the study of the effects of toxicants onecological systems. Ecological effects of contaminants may occur atseveral levels of biological organisation, from individualorganisms to the entire biosphere. Communities consist ofinteracting populations that overlap in time and space. Thus,community ecotoxicology is concerned with effects of contaminantson communities. This is one of a series of five books that willprovide a comprehensive treatment of field ecotoxicology, itprovides important insights into how contaminants affect thedistribution and abundance of organisms in nature.
* Both authors are well known highly respected scientists in thefield.
* The first book to be dedicated to 'community ecotoxicology.'
