The book is based on the belief that the science of ecology is best understood by examining familiar ecosystems from the natural world and weaving fresh insights and ecological concepts into an ecosystems framework to reveal the patterns, processes, and interactions that are the foundation of sustainable living systems in our biosphere. In the spirit of that teaching philosophy, the core of this book focuses on specific ecosystems that are familiar to most of us (e.g., forests, wetlands, streams, lakes, and the like). Taken as a whole, the chapters of this text are intended to provide a conceptual framework and an intellectual pathway for understanding and interpreting the ecology of the biosphere using elements of population, community, ecosystem, and landscape ecology. Equipped with this toolkit of ecological literacy, readers and students will hopefully be better prepared to make personal, business, and civic or governmental decisions that are consistent with a healthy and sustainable Earth. 001484570 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 6, 2023). 001484570 650_0 $$aEcology.$$zUnited States$$0(DLC)sh2009114149 001484570 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001484570 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031452585$$z9783031452581$$w(OCoLC)1395539734 001484570 852__ $$bebk 001484570 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-45259-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001484570 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1484570$$pGLOBAL_SET 001484570 980__ $$aBIB 001484570 980__ $$aEBOOK 001484570 982__ $$aEbook 001484570 983__ $$aOnline 001484570 994__ $$a92$$bISE
