Defining ecology as a system-theory oriented synthesis of§both earth and life sciences, the book aims at a novel co-§herent understanding of chemicalimpact on the lower at-§mosphere and characteristic types of terrestrial ecosystems.§To this end comprehensive flux-analytical and hierarchical§modelling approaches were developed and consulted, which in-§clude a thorough consideration of the specific physical and§geographic boundary conditions of the processes involved.§The first part is devoted to fundamentals of environmental§chemistry and ecology, while the second deals with the com-§plex atmospheric pathways of anthropogenic chemicals. In the§last part, the manifold interactions of these compounds or§their metabolites with the soil-vegetation complex of eco-§systems are described. Chapters on pollutant impact on mate-§rials and a review of chemical fate modelling are included.§Thus scientists and practitioners facing ecological projects§may expect to obtain a deeper insight into landscape ecology§from the impact point of view owing to the concise presenta-§tion of complex mechanisms and the generalized modelling ap-§proach.
