 | Ecological Modeling in Risk Assessment: Chemical Effects on Populations, Ecosystems, and Landscapes Subjects: Environment & Agriculture; Earth Sciences; Agriculture & Environmental Sciences; Earth Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Natural Hazards & Risk; Expanding the risk assessment toolbox, this book provides a comprehensive and practical evaluation of specific ecological models for potential use in risk assessment. Ecological Modeling in Risk Assessment: Chemical Effects on Populations, Ecosystems, and Landscapes goes beyond current risk assessment practices for toxic chemicals as applied to individual-organism endpoints to describe ecological effects models useful at the population, ecosystem, and landscape levels. The authors demonstrate the utility of a set of ecological effects models, eventually improving the ecological relevance of risk assessments and making data collection more cost effective. |
