Complexity and Complex Ecological Systems

Complexity and Complex Ecological Systems covers the basic aspects of analysis, synthesis and optimization of ecological systems. The book focuses on the study of environmental systems, presenting how organisms behave and live with each other in unique physical environs. It covers ecology-related topics, such as biological diversity in fluid systems, living complexity behavior, and organismic changes in unique environments, as well as other ecological problems such as biological organization, life with each other, energy degradation, gradient reduction, organisms' adaptation, population dynamics, spatial patterns, ecological integrity, sustainability and environmental strategies.

This complexity-oriented book complements Sieniutycz' recently published books Complexity and Complex Thermo-Economic Systems and Complexity and Complex Chemo-Electric Systems.

Stanislaw Sieniutycz is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Institute of Chemical and Process Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland.
