Ecological Risk Assessment

The definitive reference on ecological risk assessment, this second edition was completely rewritten to detail advances in science and practice since 1992. Coverage now includes more discussion of the application of ecological risk assessment (ERA) to agents other than chemical contaminants. The author has re-organized the material, presenting a unitary process of ERA that is applicable to various problems, scales, and mandates. With its logical progression of topics, this new edition will serve as an indispensable reference for practitioners of ecotoxicology and ERA in industry, government, consulting firms, and academia as well as an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.
