Particular emphasis is placed on the use of diatoms in analysing ecological problems related to climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and other pollution issues. The chapters are divided into sections for easy reference, with separate sections covering indicators in different aquatic environments. A final section explores diatom use in other fields of study such as forensics, oil and gas exploration, nanotechnology, and archaeology. Sixteen new chapters have been added since the first edition, including introductory chapters on diatom biology and the numerical approaches used by diatomists. The extensive glossary has also been expanded and now includes over 1,000 detailed entries, which will help non-specialists to use the book effectively.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51020220170513,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020222398737,"sku":"NIN9781107564961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52400839852305,"sku":"NLS9781107564961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1107564964.jpg?v=1751016137"},{"product_id":"tracking-environmental-change-using-lake-sediments-book-john-p-smol-9781402006586","title":"Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments","description":"Paleolimnology is a rapidly developing science that is now being used to study a suite of environmental and ecological problems. This volume is the fourth handbook in the Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research book series. The first volume (Last \u0026amp; Smol, 2001a) examined the acquisition and archiving of sediment cores, chronological techniques, and large-scale basin analysis methods. Volume 2 (Last \u0026amp; Smol, 2001b) focused on physical and chemical methods. Volume 3 (Smol et al. , 2001), along with this book, summarize the many biological methods and techniques that are available to study long-term environmental changeusing information preserved in sedimentary profiles. A subsequent volume (Birks et al. , in preparation) will deal with statistical and data handling procedures. It is our intent that these books will provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to the area of paleolimnology. These books will also hopefully be useful to non-paleolimnologists (e. g. , limnologists, archeologists, palynologists, geographers, geologists, etc. ) who continue to hear and read about pal- limnology, but have little chance to explore the vast and sometimes difficult to access journal-based reference material for this rapidly expanding field. Although the chapters in these volumes target mainly lacustrine settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine, and peatland environments. This current volume focuses on zoological indicators preserved in lake sediments, whilst Volume 3 focused on terrestrial, algal, and siliceous indicators.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52136918417681,"sku":"NLS9781402006586","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52748613779729,"sku":"NIN9781402006586","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781402006586.jpg?v=1757555710"},{"product_id":"diatoms-and-lake-acidity-book-john-p-smol-9781402024078","title":"Diatoms and Lake Acidity","description":"During the last few years, lake acidification has become a topic of international interest because of the detrimental effects of this problem on lake ecosystems. The stratigraphic record of diatoms and other paleoindicators in lake sediments has been used increasingly to document past limnological conditions. Because many diatom taxa are sensitive indicators of lakewater pH, this approach is especially useful in assessing impacts of atmospheric pollutants and watershed land use on lake pH. The idea that a book be prepared on this subject originated at a workshop entitled 'Reconstructing pH from sedimentary diatom remains - recent insights and update on methods' organized by R.B. Davis and held at the XXII Congress of the International Association of Limnology at Lyon, France in August 1983. At this workshop, presentations were made by many of the authors in this volume. The rapid progress in this field was evident when a second workshop, this time organized by R.W. Battarbee and R.J.

Recurring themes include the critical role that timescales play in environmental management and how recent climatic warming is acting as a major “threat multiplier”.  The book demonstrates how paleolimnological approaches can be used to interpret the physical, chemical, and biological data stored in lake and river sediments, and how this information is integral to evidence-based policy by identifying key environmental stressors and setting mitigation targets.    This updated Third Edition features new content that makes this authoritative book even more inviting:     Full color presentation throughout to aid clarity and understanding Several new chapters, including topics focused on harmful algal blooms, paleoecotoxicology, calcium decline, salinization, plastics, and paleolimnological applications to conservation biology Completely revised and updated throughout to ensure the best and most up-to-date coverage of the subject   Praise for the Second Edition:   \"This is a very well-written and wide-ranging volume that is both instructive and topical. It is likely to prove useful as an introduction to the general area, a reference source and for teaching purposes.\" (The Holocene, November 2008)   \"If you thought that paleolimnology was just mud, pollen, and diatoms then you will likely be both struck by the complexity of this field of research and grateful that John Smol, FRSC, has described it so clearly and broadly. Simply put, the second edition is an excellent book.\" (Journal of Phycology, 2008)   \"John Smol has extensive experience in this field of paleoenvironmental research which he combines well with his excellent written communication skills to produce a text that is easy to read but also thought provoking.\" (Quaternary Science Reviews, 2009)   “If I could speak with fluidity and clarity in my lectures as consistently as John Smol writes, my students would be very grateful.” (Journal of Paleolimnology, 2009)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53480113504529,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53480113602833,"sku":"NGR9781119748786","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-john-p-smol.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
