Ecological Microcosms is a seminal work which reviews the expanding
field of enclosed ecosystem research, and relates the results and
models of microcosm studies to general concepts in ecology.
Microcosms are miniaturized pieces of our biosphere, ranging from
streams and lakes to terraria, agroecosystems, and waste systems.
The study of these simplified ecosystems is providing provocative
insights into ecological principles as well as issues of
environmental management and global stability. The authors have
used the well-known thermodynamic approach of H.T. Odum and
numerous computer simulations. The book also includes an evaluation
of alternative mesocosm approaches for the support of humans in
space, as well as appendices to aid in the teaching of
environmental concepts using student-created microcosms. Ecological
Microcosms will be of interest to ecologists, environmental
engineers, policy makers and environmental managers, space
scientists, and educators. Robert J. Beyers is a Professor of
Biology at the University of South Alabama. Howard T. Odum is
Graduate Research Professor of Environmental Engineering Sciences
at the University of Florida, and was awarded, with Eugene Odum,
the 1987 Crafoord Prize in the Biosciences.
