Written by Eugene P. Odum, the father of Ecosystem Ecology, Basic Ecology is more than a textbook; it is a landmark work that defined the discipline. This classic volume introduced the ecosystem concept into the scientific mainstream, advocating a holistic and systemic view of life’s relationships.
This edition from Holt-Saunders International Editions is essential for students, researchers, and anyone seeking the conceptual roots of environmental science.
What you will learn in this classic: the ecosystem concept, the fundamental interconnection between biotic and abiotic factors; energy flow and nutrient cycling, including the crucial role of energy pyramids and biogeochemical cycles; population dynamics and ecological succession, explaining how ecosystems change and evolve over time; and the human dilemma, a pioneering vision of the challenges of conservation and the relationship between society and natural systems.
