About the book
EE Book 9 reflects Colin Reynolds' unusually wide-ranging research interests: from pelagic in situ processes in a variety of aquatic habitats to unifying ecological concepts and theories; from descriptions of pelagic vegetations to interpretations of ecosystem dynamics; from assemblage structures and functions to cellular and even molecular levels of organization. Colin Reynolds formulates principles of ecosystem theory, and applies them to the management and conservation of living resources.
