دانلود کتاب Real World Ecology: Large-Scale and Long-Term Case Studies and Methods

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

Springer Science + Business Media, 2009. — 308 p. — ISBN: 0387779418Ecological and environmental research has increased in scope and complexity in the last few decades, from simple systems with a few managed variables to complex ecosystems with many uncontrolled variables. These issues encompass problems that are inadequately addressed using the types of carefully controlled experiments that dominate past ecological research.Contents:Introduction – Unprecedented Challenges in Ecological Research: Past and Present
