Integrated assessment of ecosystem health

Description

"Consequences of increasing human populations and human manipulation of the environment are the loss of soil, clean air and water, native ecosystems, and biodiversity. Interdisciplinary in scope, Integrated Assessment of Ecosystem Health provides a new, proactive approach to environmental management."--BOOK JACKET.
