Natural resource conservation

Descripción

The seventh edition of Natural Resource Conservation is a comprehensive examination of resource conservation and management. It covers important issues such as rangeland management, agriculture and soil management, wildlife management, fisheries management, air pollution, solid and hazardous wastes, and population growth. Authors Daniel D. Chiras, John P. Reganold, and the late Oliver S. Owen explain basic ecological and scientific principles required to understand resource and environmental issues. Each natural resource is discussed with respect to its value to humans and other species, its use and degradation, and its restoration and sustainable management.
