Freshwater ecology : concepts and environmental applications of limnology

Book

Freshwater ecology : concepts and environmental applications of limnology / Walter K. Dodds and Matt R. Whiles.

Dodds, Walter K. (Walter Kennedy), 1958- (Author). Whiles, Matt R. (Added Author).

Summary:

"The Second Edition of Freshwater Ecology is broad, up-to-date treatment of everything from the basic chemical and physical properties of water to advanced unifying concepts of the community ecology and ecosystem relationships as found in continental waters. With 40% new and expanded coverage, this text covers applied and basic aspects of limnology, now with more emphasis on wetlands and reservoirs than in the previous edition. The authors take a synthetic approach to ecological problems, teaching students how to handle the challenges faced by contemporary aquatic scientists."--Pub. desc.
