The science of environment and the practice of natural resource management are critical to our understanding of the earth's ecosystems and our efforts to conserve them. This book attempts to bridge the gap between environmental science and natural resource management. It describes how concepts and approaches used by environmentalists to study communities and ecosystems can be applied to their management. This book emphasizes the importance of thoughtfully designed and carefully conducted scientific studies to both the advancement of environmental knowledge and the application of techniques for the management of natural resources. It is aimed at natural resource managers as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are familiar with fundamental ecological principles and who want to use ecological knowledge as a basis for the management of natural resources. 306 pp.
