Description:
Fundamentals of Aquatic Ecology is a completely updated and
revised edition of the earlier work, Fundamentals of
Aquatic Ecosystems. The new edition has been re-titled to
reflect the fact that the authors found that, from the modification
exercise, a completely different and new book emerged. The new
edition concentrates heavily of the fundamental features common to
all aquatic systems, both marine and freshwater. This unique
synthesis allows for the discussion of ecological processes
comparatively, across environments. A general introduction is
followed by discussion of various 'types' of aquatic ecosystems -
open waters, coastal zones, benthos, and the aquatic ecosystem as a
whole. This is followed by an important new chapter on aquatic
ecosystems and global ecology. Later chapters consider the
individuals and communities in aquatic ecosystems.




A totally re-written and rejuvenated edition of an established
student text.


Synthesizes both marine and freshwater ecology.


Covers both ecosystem ecology and population biology.


In depth consideration of man's impact on the aquatic
environment.
