The size and form of lakes regulate many general transport
processes, such as sedimentation, resuspension, diffusion, mixing,
burial and outflow. Lakes: Form and Function discusses how much of
the variations among lakes in fundamental ecosystem characteristics
may be related to lake morphometry, catchment area features,
climatological factors and measurement uncertainties. The transport
processes regulate many important variables, such as concentrations
of phosphorus, suspended particulate matter, pH and color. These
variables, in turn, affect primary production, which regulates
secondary production, for example of zooplankton and fish. This
book discusses such relationships using both empirical data and
statistical analyses, and mechanistic principles and models.
Researchers and students in limnology, as well as consultants and
administrators interested in management and studies of lake
systems, will enjoy reading this book. Lars Hakanson received his
PhD in Physical Geography from Uppsala University, Sweden. He has
written several papers and books related to recent sedimentological
processes in lakes, rivers and coastal areas, to mass-balance
modelling of radionuclides, nutrients and metals, to aquatic
foodweb models and to water pollution.
