“Environment and Ecology” offers an in-depth understanding of environmental and ecological concepts, focusing on their interconnectedness and the impact of human activities on natural systems. The book starts with an Introduction to the subject, followed by a detailed discussion of Biogeochemical Cycles that explain the flow of energy and nutrients through ecosystems.
The book then moves to various ecosystems, beginning with the Terrestrial Ecosystem, followed by Aquatic Ecosystem and Wetland Ecosystem, each illustrating how different environments support diverse species. It explains the key factors that maintain the balance of these ecosystems and their role in environmental sustainability.
A significant portion of the book addresses Environmental Pollution, the causes and effects of pollution on natural resources, and how Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are crucial in understanding the consequences of development projects. The chapter on Biodiversity emphasizes the importance of maintaining species diversity for ecosystem health, while the Protected Area Network discusses conservation efforts and their effectiveness.
