Writing for a wide audience, David Strayer distills the large body of scientific information about the river into a non-technical overview of its ecology. Strayer describes the geography and geology of the Hudson and its basin, the properties of water and its movements in the river, water chemistry, and the river's plants and animals. He then takes a more detailed look at the Hudson's ecosystems and each of its major habitats. Strayer also discusses important management challenges facing the river today, including pollution, habitat destruction, overfishing, invasive species, and ecological restoration. 606 $aEstuarine health$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aStream ecology$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aNatural history$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aHuman ecology$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aWater$xPollution$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aRestoration ecology$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 607 $aHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aNew York (State)$xEnvironmental conditions 610 $aamerica. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aconservation. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aecological restoration. 610 $aecologists. 610 $aecology. 610 $aenvironmental impact. 610 $afishermen. 610 $aguidebook. 610 $ahabitat destruction. 610 $ahabitat loss. 610 $ahudson river. 610 $ainvasive species. 610 $anew york. 610 $aoverfishing. 610 $aplants and animals. 610 $ariver ecology. 610 $ariver ecosystems. 610 $ariver geography. 610 $ariver geology. 610 $ariver management. 610 $ariver plants. 610 $ariver pollution. 610 $ariver scientists. 610 $ascientists. 610 $aunited states. 610 $awater chemistry. 615 0$aEstuarine health 615 0$aStream ecology 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 615 0$aWater$xPollution 615 0$aRestoration ecology 676 $a551.48/309747 700 $aStrayer$b David Lowell$f1955-$01500393 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786712403321 996 $aThe Hudson primer$93728598 997 $aUNINA
