We live in a complex and dynamic world. Understanding how to monitor,
manage and conserve species and habitats--the goal of applied
ecology--is becoming increasingly important.
Applied Ecology shows students how an understanding of ecological
theory can be used to address the most important issues facing
ecologists today. Its explicitly problem-solving approach reflects the
reality of using ecological tools and approaches in applied contexts,
while also highlighting the key ecological theories that underpin those
applications to make the link between theory and practice clear.
With an emphasis on the realities of applying ecological theory, the
book features interviews with a range of leading applied ecologists, and
over thirty case studies to give students a clear sense of contemporary
applied ecology in action. In addition, over twenty "Hot Topic" panels
capture issues and approaches at the forefront of current practice.
