Coastal Wetlands of the Laurentian Great Lakes: Health, Habitat,
and Indicators is the first book to comprehensively evaluate the
status of drowned river mouth and open lake wetlands in the
Laurentian Great Lakes. This research brings together leading
experts from the United States and Canada to present innovative
techniques and applications to monitor and assess this important
resource. As coastal wetlands disappear, this research provides
important benchmarks for understanding the structure and function
of these communities. The text describes the classification of
aquatic plants, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and fish assemblages
for biological indicator development and provides indices of biotic
integrity by leading experts in the field for each Great Lake and
connecting channel. The contributors are among the top researchers
and environmental biologists in North America and provide their own
perspectives on current aspects of biological criteria
implementation. From it factors affecting coastal wetlands to case
studies, Coastal Wetlands of the Laurentian Great Lakes will help
readers better understand the quality and impacts of environmental
stressors on biological communities, and thus protect and restore
water resources of the Great Lakes. FEATURES: 1) Uses a variety of
environmental indicators including water quality, habitat, aquatic
macrophytes, macroinvertebrates, crayfish, and fish. 2) Provides
classification and original compilations of literature on
biological indicators and case studies. 3) Presents perspectives on
