商品描述
This book introduces various mathematical models used in ecological risk assessment, primarily discussing models used in hazard assessment. The book aims to link ecology and conservation biology with risk assessments, bringing together the knowledge of ecotoxicology and ecology for effective risk assessment.
The first part describes population-level assessment in ecological risk assessment. The chapters cover current methodologies for ecological risk assessment, individual-level assessment, population dynamics models for population-level assessment, case studies, mathematical models for population extinctions, the derivation of mean time to extinction (MTE) and their case studies. The second part of the book discusses the mathematical models involved in hazard assessments. It introduces the method of risk assessment using species sensitivity distributions (SSDs), hazard assessment of metals, chemical mixtures using the Michaelis-Menten equation, basic elements of statistics and related topics.
Expected readers are risk assessors in governments and public sectors, students and young researchers interested in environmental science. The book is made accessible and easy to follow by beginners in mathematical biology and theoretical ecology.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書介紹了生態風險評估中使用的各種數學模型,主要討論了在危害評估中使用的模型。本書旨在將生態學和保育生物學與風險評估相結合,將生態毒理學和生態學的知識結合起來進行有效的風險評估。
第一部分描述了生態風險評估中的群體水平評估。這些章節涵蓋了當前的生態風險評估方法、個體水平評估、用於群體水平評估的人口動態模型、案例研究、用於人口滅絕的數學模型、平均滅絕時間(MTE)的推導及其案例研究。本書的第二部分討論了危害評估中涉及的數學模型。它介紹了使用物種敏感性分布(SSDs)進行風險評估的方法,金屬的危害評估,使用Michaelis-Menten方程進行化學混合物的危害評估,統計學的基本要素和相關主題。
預期的讀者包括政府和公共部門的風險評估人員,對環境科學感興趣的學生和年輕研究人員。本書通過初學者在數學生物學和理論生態學方面的易理解性和易跟隨性,使其易於閱讀。
作者簡介
Masashi Kamo has been a researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Research Institute of Science for Safety and Sustainability (RISS), Japan since 2004. His research interests include ecology, evolutionary biology, and risk assessment. In evolutionary biology, he is interested in topics such as the evolution of infectious diseases and uses various models to study and solve related problems. In risk assessment, he looks for topics that can be analyzed using mathematical models. This approach leads him to conduct research on a diverse range of topics within risk assessment.
