À propos de cet e-book
One of the problems of using plants in environmental studies is finding current information. Because plants play a key role in environmental studies, from the greenhouse effect to environmental toxicological studies, information is widely scattered over many different fields and in many different sources. Plants for Environmental Studies solves that problem with a single, comprehensive source of information on the many ways plants are used in environmental studies. Written by experts from around the world and edited by a team of prominent environmental specialists, this book is the only source of complete information on environmental impacts, mutation, statistical analyses, relationships between plants and water, algae, plants in ecological risk assessment, compound accumulations, and more. Encompassing algae and vascular plants in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, this book contains a diverse collection of laboratory and in situ studies, methods, and procedures using plants to evaluate air, water, wastewater, sediment, and soil.

He is interested in using plants to evaluate sludge application practices. Jane S. Hughes is the founder and president of Carolina Ecotox, Inc., a contract environmental toxicology testing laboratory in Durham, NC. She has nearly 20 years of experience conducting and supervising aquatic toxicity testing with a variety of plants and animals to meet diverse regulatory requirements. Her specialty is aquatic plant toxicity testing, and she has chaired methods development activities relating to algae, duckweed, and aquatic macrophytes in ASTM’s Committee E-47 on Biological Effects and Environmental Fate. She also served as co-chair and chair for the First and Third ASTM Symposia on Environmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment.
