Applications in Ecological Engineering

Ecological engineering involves the design, construction and management of ecosystems that have value to both humans and the environment. It is a rapidly developing discipline that provides a promising technology to solve environmental problems.  Ecological Engineering covers the basic theory of ecological engineering as well as the application of these principles in environmental management.

Provides an overview of the theory and application of environmental engineeringInternational focus and range of ecosystems makes Ecological Engineering an indispensable resource to scientists Based on the best-selling Encyclopedia of EcologyFull-color figures and tables support the text and aid in understanding
