The 8th International Congress of Ecology was held in Seoul, South
Korea in August 2002, and was hosted by the Ecological Society of
Korea. The Congress theme was 'Ecological Issues in a Changing
World', and this volume includes selected contributions to
illustrate some of the important topics which were discussed during
the Congress.
Problems of scale have exercised the minds of ecologists for
many years, and will continue to do so into the future. This volume
deals with this subject and with mathematical approaches to improve
our understanding of complex ecological systems. The book also
concentrates on monitoring the responses of ecosystems, especially
to human impacts upon them. The importance of spatial separation of
function at both the landscape and ecosystem level forms an
important theme. Finally, this special book focuses on large-scale
issues, discussing in particular important applied ecological
problems and how these can be managed through a variety of planning
processes. Many examples of major ecological problems in the
mainstream ecological literature are drawn from Europe and North
America. In contrast, many of the most pressing ecological problems
are to be found elsewhere in the World.
This volume is composed of four parts according to scale,
objectives and application of modern ecological research. Part I
covers emerging concepts and models in the ecosystem complex and in
the landscape. Part II. Biological responses to environmental
changes: pattern and process, Part III. Ecological networking and
restoration technology: theory and practice, and finally a summary
of 8th INTECOL Congress and possible future directions are covered
in Part IV.
