Air and water pollution, overexploitation of renewable resources (e.g. marine fish stocks and forests), massive land-use change together with climate change impact the Earth biodiversity and impair the functioning of ecosystems. Globalization increases the risk of diffusion of alien species and new pathogens. A panoply of numerical problems mainly based on real data from the ecological literature enables the reader to practice the presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. . 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBioremediation 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xMathematics 606 $aStochastic models 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aMathematical Applications in Environmental Science 606 $aStochastic Modelling 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aBioremediation. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xMathematics. 615 0$aStochastic models. 615 14$aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in Environmental Science. 615 24$aStochastic Modelling. 676 $a333.95 676 $a333.72015118 700 $aGatto$b Marino$065337 702 $aCasagrandi$b Renato 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910616377603321 996 $aEcosystem conservation and management$93041992 997 $aUNINA
