Description: "Recently, researchers and scientists have made significant advances toward better detection, evaluation, and understanding of the complex interactions of toxicants in environmental settings. Using information gathered at an international conference sponsored by the University of California Toxic Substances Program, 'Multiple stresses in ecosystems' provides the insight needed to assess where we are today in these fields, and which tools will be helpful in designing future studies. Features: explores the impact of multiple stresses on ecosystems; presents techniques for establishing the health of ecosystems; discusses future trends and directions for ecotoxicology; includes chapters written and contributed by experts in the field." --
