“Ecology is widely taught in Australian Universities, Institutes and Colleges.  This textbook is intended to provide a range of Australian examples within a coherent conceptual framework using one aspect of ecological thought: energy and materials interactions within ecosystems.  The book is suitable for undergraduate courses in environmental science, biology, agriculture, geography and anthropology.  It will provide a useful reference for senior school classes.  The theme of the book (movement of energy and materials through ecosystems) is universal, with many case-studies taken from the Australian ecosystem.”
