Ecology is defined as the study of inter relationship and interaction
of different organisms with each other and with their environment. It is
concerned with the general principles that apply to both animals and plants.
This PDF covers the following topics related to Ecology : Introduction,

Ecosystem services as
a concept plays a key role in solving global environmental and human ecological
crises and associated other problems, especially today when the sixth major
extinction event of the history of the biosphere is in progress, and humanity
can easily become a victim of it. The aim of this book is to give an
overview and report from the frontiers of research of this important and
interesting multidisciplinary area.
This note will cover fundamentals of ecology, considering Earth as an
integrated dynamic system. Topics covered include coevolution of the biosphere,
geosphere, atmosphere and oceans, photosynthesis and respiration the hydrologic,
carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Author, Clements is best known for his
theory of community development or plant succession. The authors were brought
together in this task of attempting to correlate the fields of plant and animal
ecology by the common belief that it would tend to advance the science of
ecology in general.
Author(s): Frederic
Edward Clements and Victor E. Shelford
Aim of this book is to bring out a
general view on the function of ecosystems, modelling, sampling strategies,
invading species, the response of organisms to modifications, the carbon
dynamics, the mathematical models and theories that can be applied in diverse
conditions.
