The Work of Nature: How The Diversity Of Life Sustains Us

Yvonne Baskin

Island Press, 1998

The Work of Nature is a great work of literature
One of the greatest deficits in knowledge that most Americans carry has to do with biodiversity. Yvonne Baskin does a great job of pulling together a wide variety of ecological research results to reduce that deficit. Her writing is strong and clear (although it is ...

Invasive Alien Species: A New Synthesis (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) Series)

Island Press, 2005

not for a beginner
This book is made up of mostly case studies that require a fairly firm graps of biological and ecological principles.

Invasive Species in a Changing World

Island Press, 2000

Changing patterns of global commerce are leading to the breakdown of biogeographic barriers that have historically kept the floras and faunas of different continents separate. Some introduced species not only take hold in their new foreign habitat but also become aggressive; these -- invasives -- can exact a serious toll on ecosystem diversity and ...

Nature's Services: Societal Dependence On Natural Ecosystems

Island Press, 1997

A classic and a must-read
Are you interested in environmental issues, natural resource policy, or understanding how ecosystems silently enable our society to function? If so you must read this book. Almost 10 years has passed since this edited volume was published (edited by Gretchen Daily), ...

Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology

F. Stuart Chapin III, Harold A. Mooney, ...

Springer, 2004

Absolutely Top Notch.
This is one heck of a book! I'm very, very impressed. I'm certainly going to use for my courses, and I think it will be used by many others teachers and professor. I think it will find itself along side Schlesinger's Biogeochemistry as a standard textbook for ...

The Potentials About a Point Electrode and Apparent Resistivity Curves for a Two-, Three-, and Four-Layer ...
Harold M. Mooney, W. W. Wetzel

Univ Of Minnesota Press, 2009

This publication will be useful to geophysicists, geologists, and others engaged in exploration for minerals by electrical methods, and may be used in theoretical studies of electrical prospecting. It makes available for the first time a comprehensive collection of 2268 master resistivity curves for a two-, three-, and four-layer earth. All ...

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function (Ecological Studies, Vol 99)

Springer-Verlag Telos, 1994

With the accelerating loss of biodiversity there is increasing concern about how this loss may be affecting ecosystem processes, or services, that are of benefit to human well being. The limited studies that address the principal question directly, species numbers versus system function, are evaluated. Moreover, the degree of redundancy within ...

Methods in Ecosystem Science

Springer, 2000

Ecology at the ecosystem level has both necessitated and benefited from new methods and technologies as well as those adapted from other disciplines. With the ascendancy of ecosystem science and management, the need has arisen for a comprehensive treatment of techniques used in this rapidly-growing field. Methods in Ecosystem Science answers ...

Ecosystem Experiments
Harold A. Mooney, Ernesto Medina

John Wiley & Sons Ltd (Import), 1991

The objective of this collection of essays is to explore the potential of ecosystem experimentation as a tool to understanding and predicting more precisely the consequences of the changing biosphere.

The potentials about a point electrode and apparent resistivity curves for a two-, three-, and four-layered ...
W. W. Wetzel, Harold M. Mooney

University of Minnesota Press, 1956

Earth System Responses to Global Change: Contrasts Between North and South America

Academic Press, 1993

This book examines the differences and similarities in the earth system components - the ocean, atmosphere, and the land - between western portions of the northern and southern Western Hemispheres, past, present, and projected. The book carefully examines the physical and biological patterns and responses of given biomes, or ecological ...

Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Prolonged seasonal drought affects most of the tropics, including vast areas presently or recently dominated by 'dry forests'. These forests have received scant attention, despite the fact that humans have used and changed them more than rain forests. This volume reviews the available information, often making contrasts with wetter forests. The ...
