Ecology of Urban Environments
Kirsten M. Parris: School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences,
The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
Urban environments are expanding globally as the number and proportion of
humans that live in cities continue to increase. The discipline of urban ecology
is also expanding as interest surges in the ecological impacts of urbanization
and the diverse ways in which urban environments can affect their human and
non-human residents.
This book provides an accessible introduction to urban ecology, using established
ecological theory to identify generalities in the complexity of urban environments.
Engaging yet scholarly, it examines the biophysical processes of urbanization
and how these work together to influence (a) the characteristics of urban
environments in developed and developing countries, and (b) the dynamics
of urban populations, communities and ecosystems. With a strong international
focus, it also explores the ecology of humans in cities and discusses practical
strategies for conserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem services in urban
environments. Finally, If argues that existing ecological theory is appropriate for
understanding the ecology of urban environments across all levels of organization,
from individual organisms to entire ecosystems; effective science and management
need not wait on a new theory of urban ecology.
