A hands-on approach to understanding the impact of local and global stresses on ecosystems

2025

Leah Bendell

Ecotoxicology: A Case-based Approach follows a 鈥渓earning by doing鈥� approach, building a deeper understanding of this multi-faceted discipline through the guided analysis of five carefully selected case studies that between them address both local and global anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem structure and function.

The book is divided into three sections. Section I covers the definition, history and methodology of ecotoxicology. Section II comprises five case studies, each detailing a selected anthropogenic stress, showing how the ecotoxicological approach has been used to explain its environmental impact and by doing so has provided mitigation and restoration strategies. The final section highlights future directions of ecotoxicology. To aid in reader learning, each chapter includes a test bank and reading list for further study. .
