Synopsis Environmental science aims at understanding environmental problems confronting our planet and learning how to manage, if not solve, them. Global warming, diminishing biodiversity, shortages in freshwater, long range transport of air pollutants and accumulation of persistent organic compounds in food webs are some of the serious problems threatening environment and living organisms. How to manage them or mitigate their effects is the role that environment science plays. "Recent Advances in Environmental Science" presents basic concepts, aspects and facts concerning ecosystem, climate change, effective environment management, effect of environment changes on climate, food web chain and biological resources. The book also describes latest discoveries in environmental science. The book integrates information from many different areas in a way that is accessible and useful to students, teachers, researchers, environmentalists and general readers.
