"Limnological Analyses covers the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of standing and running waters, and provides students with a solid foundation in this complex multidisciplinary field of ecology. The book illustrates accepted standard methods as well as modern metabolic and experimental approaches and their research applications.". "Instructors and students of limnology will value Limnological Analyses for its highly structured, concise presentation and its research-oriented approach that invites active participation. The methodology presented here will also be useful to aquatic resource managers, pollution and water-quality researchers, and all biologists studying the response of aquatic organisms to environmental changes."--BOOK JACKET.

"Inland aquatic habitats occur world-wide at all scales from marshes, swamps and temporary puddles, to ponds, lakes and inland seas; from streams and creeks to rolling rivers. Vital for biological diversity, ecosystem function and as resources for human life, commerce and leisure, inland waters are a vital component of life on Earth. The Encyclopedia of Inland Waters describes and explains all the basic features of the subject, from water chemistry and physics, to the biology of aquatic creatures and the complex function and balance of aquatic ecosystems of varying size and complexity."--publisher description.
