Description
Limnology is the study of the structural and functional interrelationships of organisms of inland waters as they are affected by their
dynamic physical, chemical, and biotic environments. Limnology: Lake and River Ecosystems, 3rd Edition, is a new edition
of this established classic text. The coverage remains rigorous and uncompromising and has been thoroughly reviewed and updated with
evolving recent research results and theoretical understanding. In addition, the author has expanded coverage of lakes to reservoir and
river ecosystems in comparative functional analyses.
Audience
Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, researchers, and government employees interested in freshwater ecology, water management, environmental sciences and many related areas.
