Ecological impact assessment

"Ecological Impact Assessment provides a comprehensive review of the EcIA process and summarizes the ecological theories and tools which can be used to understand, explain and evaluate the ecological consequences of development proposals. It is intended for the many individuals and companies involved in EIA and EcIA, as well as other areas of environmental management where impacts on ecosystems need to be evaluated. It will benefit planners, regulators, environmental consultants and scientists and will also provide an invaluable source-book and guide for the growing number of undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in applied ecology, EIA and related topics in environmental science."--Jacket.
