Reviews
"I have been searching for a book like this for my ecosystem ecology class. The tone is right-on-target, the examples are apropos, and it is clear that these chapters are written for students as opposed to researchers, which is a significant plus."- Dr. Robert Hall, University of Wyoming "I found the chapters in Fundamentals of Ecosystem Science to be well-organized and well-written. Students and teachers alike respond well to them. The level of detail is about right (not too dense), and the subject matter is presented in an interesting and engaging way."- Dr. Clifford Ochs, University of Mississippi "The book is very readable and engaging, and it communicates both a general understanding of the topics and current state of the knowledge. The incorporation of both terrestrial and aquatic systems is a great contribution since most ecosystem science textbooks are focused on terrestrial or aquatic systems."- Dr. Mary Arthur, University of Kentucky, "I have been searching for a book like this for my ecosystem ecology class.

It provides timely and motivating syntheses of concepts and approaches for addressing current challenges to earth's ecosystem functions."- Dr. Amy Rosemond, Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, "I have been searching for a book like this for my ecosystem ecology class.
