This book is based on many case studies in the broad area of ecological studies and is derived from numerous sources originating from several countries.

The book begins with discussions on morphology, stand structure, competition, mass and water balance at the stand level of vegetation as well as mineral cycles.

A section deals with disturbances and management of agricultural as well as semi-natural systems.

With the input of several authors, zoologists, botanists and geographers, detail is given to the eutrophication and pollution in terrestrial ecosystems.

Included as well are discussions on the carbon cycle as it relates to current climate change and modern methods of remote sensing and geographical modelling.

The book concludes with a chapter on urban and landscape ecology.

The main feature of this book is that it includes most methods and tasks of modern ecology using case studies and incorporating all levels of integration from single plants and animals to populations and ecosystems.
