"The second edition of Ecosystems explains the basic concepts that make up ecosystem theory and examines the ways in which the concept can help the investigation of environmental problems. The new edition has been revised and updated throughout to reflect the latest developments. It includes a new chapter on the world pattern of biomes and enhanced use of functional ecology in the assessment of ecosystem functioning. This updated edition explains the nature of the ecosystem concept, the functional roles of ecosystems, the ways in which it relates to functional ecology and its paramount value in the analysis of environmental problems. The book is illustrated throughout with boxes, figures, tables and plates."--Jacket.
