Population-Level Ecological Risk AssessmentCRC Press, 2007 M09 25 - 376 pages Most ecological risk assessments consider the risk to individual organisms or organism-level attributes. From a management perspective, however, risks to population-level attributes and processes are often more relevant. Despite many published calls for population risk assessment and the abundance of available scientific research and technical tool |
