Issues of spatial and temporal scale, anthropogenic impacts, and application of current ecological concepts are covered along with ideas that are presented in more traditional limnological texts. Chapters on biodiversity, toxic chemicals, extreme and unusual habitats, and fisheries increase the breadth of material covered. The book includes an extensive glossary, questions for thought, worked examples of equations, and real-life problems. 410 0$aAquatic ecology series. 606 $aFreshwater ecology$vTextbooks 606 $aLimnology$vTextbooks 615 0$aFreshwater ecology 615 0$aLimnology 676 $a577.6 700 $aDodds$b Walter K$g(Walter Kennedy),$f1958-$01570137 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784641303321 996 $aFreshwater ecology$93843579 997 $aUNINA
