Introduction to Systems EcologySven Erik JørgensenCopenhagen University, Denmark

Possibly the first textbook to present a practically applicable ecosystems theory, Introduction to Systems Ecologyhelps readers understand how ecosystems work and how they react to disturbances. It demonstrates—with manyexamples and illustrations—how to apply the theory to explain observations and to make quantitative calculationsand predictions.

In this book, Sven Erik Jørgensen takes a first step toward integrating thermodynamics, biochemistry, hierarchicalorganization, and network theory into a holistic theory of systems ecology. The first part of the book covers thelaws of thermodynamics and the basic biochemistry of living organisms, as well as the constraints they impose onecosystems. To grow and develop, however, ecosystems have to evade these thermodynamic and biochemicalconstraints, so the second part of the book discusses the seven basic properties that enable ecosystems to grow,develop, and survive:• They are open systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium.• They are organized hierarchically.• They have a high diversity.• They have high buffer capacities toward changes.• Their components are organized in cooperative networks, which allows for sophisticated feedback,

regulation mechanisms, and higher efficiencies.• They contain an enormous amount of information embodied in genomes.• They have emerging system properties.

This timely textbook also looks at how systems ecology is applied in integrated environmental management, particularly in ecological modeling and engineering and in the assessment of ecosystem health using ecologicalindicators. Acknowledging that there is still much room for improvement, it will inspire ecologists to develop astronger and more widely applicable ecosystem theory.

Features

• Presents a complete and practically applicable ecosystem theory that offers a general frame of referencefor ecological disciplines

• Integrates four aspects of systems ecology: thermodynamics, biochemistry, network theory, and hierarchical organization

• Summarizes important points at the end of each chapter• Includes plenty of examples and more than 100 exercises and problems for students to solve• Contains more than 100 black-and-white illustrations and a 32-page color insertSolutions manual available with qualifying course adoption

Selected Contents

New Edition of a Bestseller!

Principles of EcotoxicologyFourth EditionC.H. Walker, R.M. Sibly, S.P. Hopkin, and D.B. Peakall

“An excellent fresh edition to one of the best ecotoxicology textbooks. Authored bysome of the best scientists in the field, it deserves a place on the bookshelf of any seri-ous environmental scientist.”—Michael C. Newman, College of William & Mary – Virginia Institute of Marine Science, USA

Cutting across traditional subject boundaries, Principles of Ecotoxicology, Fourth Edition gives readers an integratedview of ecotoxicology, from molecules to ecosystems. This new edition of a bestselling textbook continues to empha-size principles rather than practice, providing the interdisciplinary perspective and grounding required for research.

Organized into three sections, the book first describes the molecular structures, properties, and environmental fateof pollutants. It then deals with the effects of pollutants on living organisms at the molecular, cellular, and individ-ual levels. Moving into population biology and population genetics, the third part of the book addresses a question of great interest to ecologists: What effects do pollutants have at the levels of population, community, andthe whole ecosystem?

The book also looks at how ecotoxicology is used in the biomonitoring of environmental pollution, the investiga-tion of pollution problems, the conducting of field trials, the study of the development of resistance, and the growing area of environmental risk assessments. Throughout, examples and case studies illustrate the principles.

A concise textbook that will also appeal to practicing ecotoxicologists, it provides a solid basis for understandingwhat happens to chemicals in the real world, where they go, how they ultimately degrade, and how they affectthe individuals and populations that encounter them.

What’s New in This Edition

• Revised and updated material throughout• A chapter on future directions of ecotoxicology• New material on nanoparticle pollution and chemical warfare in nature• Expanded coverage of bioaccumulation, biomarkers, and risk assessment for affected populations• More case studies, many from the United States• Discussion of neurotoxic and behavioral effects of pollutants• Recent research on the decline of vultures and effects of neonicotinoids on bees

Features

• Describes major classes of organic and inorganic pollutants, their entry into the environment, and theirmovement, storage, and transformation within the environment

• Discusses the effects of pollutants on living organisms at the molecular, cellular, and individual level• Relates mechanisms of toxicity to ecological effects at the level of populations, communities, and ecosystems• Considers how concepts of ecotoxicology may contribute to improved methods of environmental risk

assessment • Addresses the problem of progressing from measuring concentrations of environmental chemicals to

establishing their effects upon individuals, populations, and communities• Includes numerous examples, case studies, and more than 150 illustrations

Selected Contents
