Written by an international authority, A Systems Approach to the Environmental Analysis of Pollution Minimization details the characteristic and common features of different systems of environmental interest.

With descriptions of hundreds of the most important environmental and ecological models, the Handbook of Environmental and Ecological Modeling is ideal for those working in environmental modeling, including regulators and managers who wish to understand the models used to make assessments. Overviews of more than 360 models are arranged according to ecosystem, allowing readers to quickly locate information they need about models available in a ...

Thermodynamics and Ecological Modeling provides a book-length study - the first of its kind - of the current thinking on how an ecosystem can be explained and predicted in terms of its thermodynamical behavior. After the introductory chapters on the fundamentals of thermodynamics, the book will then explain how thermodynamic theory can be specifically applied to the "measurement" of an ecosystem, including the assessment of its state of entrop...

The environmental analysis of pollution problems always involves the use of mass and energy balances to quantify the extent of pollution and its sources. This same form of analysis can be applied to ecosystems, production systems, a whole country or a region. A Systems Approach to the Environmental Analysis of Pollution Minimization identifies and describes the common factors shared by these systems. The book is organized in twelve chapters an...

With descriptions of important environmental and ecological models, this handbook provides overviews of more than 360 models that are arranged according to ecosystem, allowing readers to locate information they need about models in a given ecosystem. It provides chapters that cover a particular ecosystem and include descriptions of the models.

An ecosystem can be thought of a group of interdependent living organisms, along with that group's non-living surroundings, all of which is involved in a constant transfer of energy and mass within a general state of equilibrium or dis-equilibrium. Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that theorizes and models the flow and behavior of energy through any specific entity or system, and how that energy serves to "organize" or "disorganize" the...
