The book is basically formulated for under-graduate, post-graduate students of zoology, botany, agriculture, forestry, microbiology, environmental sciences, biotechnology and other related fields, researchers and competitors in various field of ecology and environmental sciences of universities and colleges in India. The book contains basics and fundamentals of the subject which would be helpful to the reader. The contents do not contain the traditional trend of the other books, nevertheless it consists of modern concepts of ecology and environmental sciences which are being followed in the developed countries of the world and unfortunately our readers are not aware of these new concepts which have been given in the book. It is hoped the book will upgrade the knowledge of the readers about the basics and recent concepts of ecology and environmental sciences.
