Notes	The aim of the present volume is to review the effects of human activity on physical environment processes, and this is justified not only as a complement to the approach taken by G. P. Marsh his volume Man and Nature (1864), but also as a sequel to the work produced since 1864, with contributions since the mid-nineteenth century to the study of th Cover; Half Title; Series Page; Title; Copyright; Contents; List of figures; List of tables; Acknowledgements; Preface; Dedication; 1 The Environment -- Problems and Prospects; 1.1 The environmental crisis; 1.1a The nature of environmental problems; 1.1b Causes of environmental problems; 1.2 Perspectives on the man-environment relationship; 1.2a Symbiosis between man and environment; 1.3 Ecological and geographical interest in environmental problems; 1.3a The development and contribution of ecology; 1.3b Geography and the ecological perspective; 1.4 Rationale behind this book 2 The Biosphere -- Global Ecological Systems Analysis2.1 Systems and the environment; 2.2 The biosphere as a system; 2.2a The energy system; 2.2b The water cycle; 2.2c The chemical elements cycles; 2.2d The sediment cycle; 2.3 Unity of the Biosphere; 3 The Ecosystem as the Fundamental Ecological Unit; 3.1 Order in nature; 3.1a Food chains and food webs; 3.1b The ecosystem concept; 3.2 Ecosystem form and function; 3.2a Trophic levels; 3.2b Ecological pyramids; 3.2c Ecological niche; 3.2d Energy in ecosystems; 3.2e Nutrients in ecosystems; 3.3 Productivity and equilibrium in ecosystems 3.3a Ecosystem productivity3.3b Limiting factors; 3.3c Equilibrium in ecosystems; 3.4 Ecosystem analysis -- problems and prospects; 3.4a Problems in ecosystem analysis; 3.4b Values of the ecosystem approach; 4 Ecological Changes Through Time; 4.1 Evolution and ecosystems; 4.1a The theory of evolution; 4.1b Evolutionary history of plant and animal species; 4.1c Extinction of species; 4.1d Contemporary evolution; 4.2 Successional development of ecosystems; 4.2a Primary succession; 4.2b Secondary succession; 4.2c General characteristics of succession; 4.2d Climax vegetation 4.3 Relevance of evolution and succession to environmental management5 Ecological Changes in Space; 5.1 Spatial distributions of ecological properties; 5.2 Ecological variations -- the global scale; 5.3 Ecological variations -- the regional scale; 5.3a Man-induced ecological changes; 5.3b Environmental controls of ecological variations; 5.4 Regional ecological surveys; 5.4a Vegetation analysis and classification; 5.4b Vegetation mapping; 6 Ecological Resources; 6.1 Reasons for interest in ecological resources; 6.2 Pressures on ecological resources -- the global scale 6.3 Pressures on ecological resources -- the British scale6.3a Urbanization; 6.3b Mineral exploitation; 6.3c Agriculture; 6.3d Changes in woodland and hedges; 6.3e Recreation and amenity pressure; 6.3f Pressures on wetland resources; 6.4 Beneficial man-made environments; 7 Pollution; 7.1 The concept and nature of pollution; 7.1a Perspectives on pollution; 7.1b Definitions of pollution; 7.1c Sources and types of pollution; 7.2 Environmental effects of pollution; 7.2a Human health effects; 7.2b Ecological effects; 7.2c Pollution and ecosystems; 7.3 Pollution monitoring OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record HTTP:URL=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429052026 Information=Taylor & Francis
