Handbook of Inland Aquatic Ecosystem Management by Sven Jorgensen

Handbook of Inland Aquatic Ecosystem Management by Sven Jorgensen

Combining biology, ecology, and limnology with environmental management, this handbook provides a profound understanding of the best environmental strategy for resolving environmental problems in inland aquatic ecosystems. The text includes both basic theories and comprehensive practices. It presents all available tools for environmental and eco

".. a book on the subject of lakes and reservoirs is extremely welcome today when fast global changes, including urbanization, global commerce, and climate, are posing—and will pose in the near future—greater stress in our hydrologic systems. The authors present the subject in such a way that the reader will learn not only fundamentals of limnology but also the behavior of lakes and reservoirs both from a physicochemical and an ecosystemic point of view. The book relies on several examples from projects developed by the authors on the ground. This is something that professionals working in this field will benefit significantly from ..." —Benedito Braga, Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo, Brazil
