Geology and Ecosystems

Geology and Ecosystems edited by Igor S. Zektser, Brian Marker, John Ridgway, Liliya Rogachevskaya, Genrikh Vartanyan.

Geology and Ecosystems examines the relationship between biological communities of the Earth and objects of inorganic nature of the geological environment. Rational and sustainable development of society requires an ever-growing exploitation of natural resources, among which mineral and water resour...
