In 2011, he authored a textbook in ecological modeling “Fundamentals of Ecological Modelling”, which was published as a fourth edition together with Brian D. Fath of the Department of Biological Sciences, Towson University. It has been translated into Chinese and Russian (third edition). He was co-editor in chief of the "Encyclopedia of Ecology" published in 2008, and of the "Encyclopedia of Environmental Management" published during December 2012. He co-authored the textbook “Introduction to Systems Ecology, published in English in 2012 and in Chinese in 2013. [5]
