Features: This book is organized by the Science Press and written by core teaching faculty from numerous higher normal universities across the country. The book is divided into two parts: Upper Part - Basic Ecology (Chapters 1 to 4) and Lower Part - Applied Ecology (Chapters 5 to 10), covering 11 sections including Introduction, Organisms and Environment, Population Ecology, Community Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology, Agricultural Ecology, Urban Ecology, Human Ecology, Pollution Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation, and an overview of some important branches of ecology. Each chapter begins with a concise summary of its content, and ends with a certain number of thought-provoking questions of varying difficulty levels, as well as recommended reference books to help readers deepen and broaden their understanding of the chapters. On one hand, this textbook emphasizes its foundational nature, striving to comprehensively introduce readers to the basic theories, fundamental knowledge, and research methods of ecology. On the other hand, it appropriately strengthens the content of applied ecology, focusing on improving learners' ability to connect theory with practice, analyze, and solve problems. This book can be used as a textbook for ecology in higher normal universities, higher normal colleges, higher agricultural and forestry universities, and comprehensive universities. It can also serve as a reference for other teaching and research personnel and high school biology teachers.
