Groundwater Ecology and Evolution, Second Edition is designed to
meet a multitude of audience needs. The state of the art in the
discipline is provided by the articulation of six sections. The
first three sections successively carry the reader into the basic
attributes of groundwater ecosystems (section 1), the drivers and
patterns of biodiversity (section 2), and the roles of organisms in
groundwater ecosystems (section 3). The next two sections are
devoted to evolutionary processes driving the acquisition of
subterranean biological traits (section 4) and the way these traits
are differently expressed among groundwater organisms (section 5).
Finally, section 6 shows how knowledge acquired among multiple
research fields (sections 1 to 5) is used to manage groundwater
biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of future
groundwater resource use scenarios. Emphasis on the coherence and
prospects of the whole book is given in the introduction and
conclusion.
