商品簡介
The subject of rivers, lakes and wetlands is a vast and evolving field. Since the publication of the fourth edition in 2010 there have been significant developments, particularly in links with climate change, the assessment of problems, and the use of new methods in remote sensing, stable isotopes, and molecular biology.
The fifth edition of this popular and accessible textbook has been extensively revised and updated to reflect the most recent ground breaking research. Including case studies from every continent, Professor Brian Moss provides a global overview with particular emphasis on ecosystem services and major element cycles. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout, the author has maintained the engaging and concise writing style that has appealed to readers since the first edition.
This is a key text for students of freshwater ecology, aquatics biology, and limnology, for professionals working in the management of freshwater environment, as well as those with a general interest in the field.
