Easy-to-Read Brochures Explain "Issues in Ecology"
"What
Does Ecology Have To Do With Me?" a brochure published by
the Ecological Society of America (ESA), introduces the
science of relationships between living organisms and their
environment in a user-friendly format.
Another
ESA brochure, "Ecological Principles for Managing Land Use,"
introduces key ecological principles and guidelines that
are critical to sustaining the ecosystems on which we depend.
In the ESA’s continuing series of reports, "Issues
in Ecology," several major ecological issues are explored
more fully, including references to current scientific findings
and a list of titles for further information. Titles include
"Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning: Maintaining Natural
Life Support Processes;" "Human Alteration of the Global
Nitrogen Cycle: Causes and Consequences;" and "Ecosystem
Services: Benefits Supplied to Human Societies by Natural
Ecosystems."
