Handbook of Ecotoxicology, Second Edition focuses on toxic substances and how they affect ecosystems worldwide. It presents methods for quantifying and measuring ecotoxicological effects in the field and in the lab, as well as methods for estimating, predicting, and modeling in ecotoxicology studies.
Completely revised and updated with 18 new chapters, this second edition includes contributions from over 75 international experts. Also, a Technical Review Board reviewed all manuscripts for accuracy and currency.
This authoritative work is the definitive reference for students, researchers, consultants, and other professionals in the environmental sciences, toxicology, chemistry, biology, and ecology - in academia, industry, and government.
Zielgruppe
Environmental, ecological, wildlife and aquatic toxicologists, ecosystems, population, community and landscape ecologists, environmental chemists, risk assessment/management professionals, natural resource managers, regulatory agencies, conservation biologists, soil and wetlands scientists, biomonitoring and sustainability professionals, urban planners and developers
