Freshwater ecology : concepts and environmental applications of limnology / created by Walter K Dodds and Matt R Whiles. - Third edition - 981 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index
1. Why study continental aquatic systems?2. Properties of water3. Movement of light, heat and chemicals in water4. Hydrologic cycle and physiography of groundwater habitats5. Hydrology and physiography of wetland habitats6. Physiography of flowing water7. Lakes and reservoirs: physiography8. Types of Aquatic Organisms9. Microbes and plants10. Multicellular animals11. Evolution of organisms and biodiversity of freshwater measures of diversity12. Aquatic chemistry and factors controlling nutrient cycling: Redox and O213. Carbon14. Nitrogen, Sulfur, Phosphorus and other nutrients15. Unusual or extreme habitats16. Response to stress, toxic chemicals and other pollutants in aquatic ecosystems17. Nutrient use and remineralization18. Trophic state and eutrophication19. Behavior and interactions among microorganisms and invertebrates20. Predation and food webs21. Nonpredatory interspecific interactions among plants22. Complex community interactions23. Fish ecology and fisheries24. Freshwater ecosystems25. Conclusions
Of community ecology and ecosystem relationships found in continental waters. Giving students a solid foundation for both courses and future fieldwork, and updated to include key issues, including how to balance ecological and human health needs, GMOs, molecular tools, fracking, and a host of other environmental issues, this book is an ideal resource for both students and practitioners in ecology and related fields
