Summary |
"Ecotoxicology is a rapidly expanding field of research within the international scientific community. Ecotoxicology is a hierarchical science with defined impacts at different levels of the environment. This series of five books takes each level of the biological hierarchy: Individual, Population, Community, Ecosystem and Landscape, and Global and provides the primary source of the information on the basic paradigms emerging at each level. Each book will focus on one level at a time but defines the connections between levels. Identification and discussion of ecotoxicological paradigms form the backbone for each book."--BOOK JACKET |
