Description

Surveys current knowledge of the effects of man-made chemicals and other disturbances on the ecosystem, focusing on the effects on the structure and function of the system rather than on individual organisms or populations. Covers community structure, diversity, nutrient cycling, litter decomposition, and more. Examines the question of detectability of change and includes a number of case histories of aquatic, marine, and terrestrial systems.
