Combining background knowledge and practical tools, Handbook of
Inland Aquatic Ecosystem Management gives you an overview of how to
manage inland waters in a holistic manner. It examines the problems
that threaten aquatic inland water ecosystems and presents a set of
toolboxes for solving them. The book focuses on lakes, reservoirs,
ponds, rivers, wetlands, lagoons, and estuaries, including the
predominant freshwater ecosystems as well as saline and brackish
ecosystems. Understand Ecosystem Properties and Ecological
Processes The book consists of two parts. The first part reviews
the basic scientific knowledge needed in the environmental and
ecological management of aquatic ecosystems, from limnology and
ecology of inland water ecosystems to environmental physics and
chemistry. It emphasizes the interacting processes that
characterize all inland aquatic ecosystems and explains the
scientific considerations behind the conservation principles and
their applications. Define the Problems and Quantify Their Sources
The second part of the book presents toolboxes that you can apply
to achieve more holistic environmental and ecological management.
After an overview of the environmental problems of inland aquatic
ecosystems and their sources, the book examines toolboxes to help
you identify the problem, namely mass balances, ecological
indicators, and ecological models. It also discusses toolboxes that
can be used to find an environmental management solution to the
problem: environmental technology, cleaner technology, and
ecotechnology. Integrate Science and Practical Toolboxes to Manage
Inland Waters More Effectively This book shows you how to integrate
biology, ecology, limnology, and chemistry with the toolboxes in an
up-to-date, multidisciplinary approach to environmental management.
It provides a powerful framework for identifying ecological
mechanisms that interact with global environmental problems
threatening inland aquatic ecosystems.
