The Encyclopedia of Ecology and Environmental Management
addresses the core definitions and issues in pure and applied
ecology. It is neither a short entry dictionary nor a long entry
encyclopedia, but lies somewhere in between. The mixture of short
entry definitions and long entry essays gives a comprehensive and
up-to-date alphabetical guide to over 3000 topics, and allows any
subject to be accessed to varying levels of detail; while the
longer entries provide general reviews of subjects, the short
definitions provide specific details on more specialised areas. An
important feature of the Encyclopedia which sets it apart from
other similar works is the comprehensive cross-referencing.
