Advances in Ecological Research is one of the most successful series in the highly competitive field of ecology. Each volume publishes topical and important reviews, interpreting ecology as widely as in the past, to include all material that contributes to our understanding of the field. Topics in this invaluable series include the physiology, populations, and communities of plants and animals, as well as landscape and ecosystem ecology.

• Presents the most updated information on the field of ecology, publishing topical and important reviews
• Provides all information that relates to a thorough understanding of the field
• Includes data on physiology, populations, and communities of plants and animals
• New ideas on ES
• Integrative approach working across a variety of levels of biological organization and spatial and temporal scales
• Diversity of relevant subjects covered

Social scientists, Economists, Ecologists at undergraduate through to research level. There is also a potential audience amongst the stakeholders and decision-makers of ES
