Limnology: Inland Water Ecosystems

Front Cover
Prentice Hall, 2002 - Nature - 592 pages

For senior-level undergraduate or graduate courses in limnology or aquatic management in the Life Sciences and Biology departments.

Written from an ecosystem perspective, this user-friendly and thorough text discusses events that happen below the waterline of lakes, rivers, and wetlands. The text links them back to the attributers of the drainage basins, the overlying atmosphere and climate, which have a major impact on inland waters and their biota. It also contains a large number of easy-to-comprehend figures and tables that reinforce the written material and provide evidence for statements made.
