Methods to Study Litter Decomposition
By: Graça, Manuel A.S. (ed.); Bärlocher, Felix (ed.); Gessner, Mark O. (ed.)
Published by: Springer
Decomposition of organic matter is a major ecosystem process involving an array of different organisms, including bacteria, fungi and invertebrates. The main objective of this book is to provide students and laboratory instructors at universities and professional ecologists with a broad range of established methods to study plant litter decomposition. Detailed protocols for direct use in the field or laboratory are presented in an easy to follow step-by-step format. A short introduction to each protocol reviews the ecological significance and principles of the technique and points to key references. Although most methods are described for freshwater ecosystems, many will work equally well in the presented or slightly modified form for studies in marine and terrestrial environments.

Multitrophic Level Interactions
By: Tscharntke, Teja; Hawkins, Bradford A.
Published by: Cambridge University Press
Multitrophic Level Interactions explores the complex interactions between plants, their herbivores, and the herbivores' natural enemies. Determining the relative importance of top-down effects (control by predators) and bottom-up effects (control by resources), it will be an important guide to future research for all ecologists.

The Natural History of an Arctic Oil Field
By: Truett, Joe C.; Johnson, Stephen R.
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
In spite of the harsh conditions that characterize the Arctic, it is a surprisingly fragile ecosystem. The exploration for oil in the Arctic over the past 30 years has had profound effects on the plants and animals that inhabit this frozen clime. The Natural History of an Arctic Oil Field synthesizes decades of research on these myriad impacts. Specialists with years of field experience have contributed to this volume to create the first widely available synopsis of the ecology and wildlife biology of animals and plants living in close association with an actively producing oil field.

Nonequilibrium Ecology
By: Rohde, Klaus; Usher, Michael; Saunders, Denis; Dobson, Andrew; Peet, Robert; Adam, Paul; Birks, H. J. B.; Gustafsson, Lena; McNeely, Jeff; Paine, R. T.; Richardson, David
Published by: Cambridge University Press
The idea that nature is in balance and is only occasionally disrupted by external influences is a central concept in biology. However, much evidence contradicts this assumption. Using evidence from fossil history, studies of plant and animal populations and communities, this book shows that nonequilibrium is more widespread than equilibrium.

Our Way or the Highway
By: Losure, Mary
Published by: University of Minnesota Press
Construction plans for the reroute of Highway 55 through south Minneapolis sparked an environmental movement that pitted activists against public authorities in one of the most dramatic episodes in the city’s history. Fueled by idealism and anger, a diverse coalition of Native Americans, neighborhood residents, and young anarchists banded together to try to stop the highway expansion. Beginning in 1998, this group sustained protests for more than a year and eventually faced an unprecedented show of force by law enforcement.
