{"product_id":"ecosystem-engineers-kim-cuddington-9780123738578","title":"Ecosystem Engineers: Plants to Protists Volume 4","description":"The first book entirely devoted to this topic, \u003ci\u003eEcosystem Engineers\u003c\/i\u003e begins with the history of the concept, presenting opposing definitions of ecosystem engineeing. These varied definitions advance the debate and move past trivial difficulties to crystallize key issues such as the value of process-based vs. outcome-based. Authors include case studies spanning a wide spectrum of species and habitats, including above and below-ground, aquatic and terrestrial, and extant and paleontological examples. These studies enable readers to understand how the categorization of species as ecosystem engineers allows scientists to forge new explanatory generalizations. Key for all ecologists and environmentalists, this book ultimately illustrates how to inform and manage natural resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Cuddington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123738571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123738578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.30w x 1.14d","brand":"Kim Cuddington","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112815440127,"sku":"9780123738578","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5018a3fa-cc3c-4824-a390-2eeb8d4c351c.jpg?v=1769611131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ecosystem-engineers-kim-cuddington-9780123738578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
