It is a highly productive ecosystem, which has global significance for millions of migrating birds who rely on this critical feeding station on their journey through the American west. For the human population in the adjacent metropolitan area, this body of water provides a significant economic resource as industries, such as brine shrimp harvesting and mineral extraction, generate jobs and income for the state of Utah. In addition, the lake provides the local population with ecosystem services, especially the creation of mountain snowpack that generates water supply, and the prevention of dust that may impair air quality. As a result of climate change and water diversions for consumptive uses, terminal lakes are shrinking worldwide, and this edited volume is written in this urgent context. This is the first book ever centered on Great Salt Lake biology. Current and novel data presented here paint a comprehensive picture, building on our past understanding and adding complexity. Together, the authors explore this saline lake from the microbial diversity to the invertebrates and the birds who eat them, along a dynamic salinity gradient with unique geochemistry. Some unusual perspectives are included, including the impact of tar seeps on the lake biology and why Great Salt Lake may help us search for life on Mars. Also, we consider the role of human perceptions and our effect on the biology of the lake. The editors made an effort to involve a diversity of experts on the Great Salt Lake system, but also to include unheard voices such as scientists at state agencies or non-profit advocacy organizations. This book is a timely discussion of a terminal lake that is significant, unique, and threatened. 606 $aAquatic ecology  606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 606 $aInvertebrates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25058 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aBiologia aquàtica$2thub 606 $aEcologia aquàtica$2thub 606 $aLlacs$2thub 607 $aUtah$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAquatic ecology . 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aEcosystems. 615 14$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 615 24$aMicrobial Ecology. 615 24$aInvertebrates. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 7$aBiologia aquàtica 615 7$aEcologia aquàtica 615 7$aLlacs 676 $a574.52636 676 $a979.242 702 $aBaxter$b Bonnie K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aButler$b Jaimi K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416110303321 996 $aGreat Salt Lake Biology$92513089 997 $aUNINA
