Cover of Commission on Life Sciences & Committee on the Applications of Ecological Theory to Environmental Problems: Ecological Knowledge and Environmental Problem-Solving (PDF)

This volume explores how the scientific tools of ecology can be used more effectively in dealing with a variety of complex environmental problems. Part I discusses the usefulness of such ecological knowledge as population dynamics and interactions, community ecology, life histories, and the impact of various materials and energy sources on the environment. Part II contains 13 original and instructive case studies pertaining to the biological side of environmental problems, which Nature described as "carefully chosen and extremely interesting."
