Are you having trouble following our Ecology class? This book was recommended by our seniors. They said it was very helpful.

It is available in our department library. Also available to buy in photocopy form in Lanka. It is not available at Student Friends bookstore nor University bookstore in Lanka.

This book has some good topics in it, for example:
  • Defining Ecology
  • Characteristics of Population
  • Life History Strategies, r- and k- selection
  • Niche
  • Ecological Succession
  • Ecosystem Structure, Function and Processes
  • Food Chain and Food Webs
  • Ecosystems Nutrient Cycling
Description of the book:
Ecology,Environment & Resource Conservation
Singh, J.S., Singh, S.P. & Gupta, S.R.

This is the first comprehensive textbook of its kind on ecology and environment published in India by three leading ecologists. Every post-graduate student of ecology must have a personal copy.

Over the year, the scope of our scientific understanding and technical skills in ecology and environmental science have widened significantly, with increasingly greater emphasis on societal issues. In this book an attempt has been made to give basic concepts of ecology, environmental science and various aspects of natural resources.
