Advances in Urban Ecology, 2008 Integrating Humans and Ecological Processes in Urban Ecosystems
Auteur : Alberti marina
This groundbreaking work is an attempt at providing a conceptual framework to synthesize urban and ecological dynamics into a common framework. The greatest challenge for urban ecologists in the next few decades is to understand the role humans play in urban ecosystems. The development of an integrated urban ecological approach is crucial to advance ecological research and to help planners and managers solve complex urban environmental issues. This book is a major step forward.
Presents a unified urban ecology theory linking human and ecological processes
