Excellent- More about River Ecology: Science and Management for a Changing World
Rivers have been essential to human populations for thousands of years, providing water, transportation, and waste disposal. This textbook covers river ecology, including anthropogenic impacts, restoration, and blackwater streams.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 432 pages
Publication date: 26 October 2023
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Rivers have played a crucial role in the lives of human populations across the globe for countless centuries, serving as vital "highways" for inland travel and providing essential sources of water for various purposes such as drinking, cooking, cleaning, manufacturing, irrigation, and power generation. Moreover, rivers have acted as repositories for human, animal, and industrial wastes. This accessible textbook adopts a comprehensive approach to river ecology, encompassing the fundamentals while delving into topics that are often overlooked, including blackwater streams and rivers, tidal creek ecosystems, and reservoir limnology. Given that human activities have significantly altered or impacted most running water (lotic) systems, there is a significant emphasis on anthropogenic impacts, encompassing sedimentation, nutrient pollution, and related eutrophication issues, as well as the consequences of dams and river fragmentation, power plant operations, chemical contamination, wastewater treatment discharges, industrial-scale livestock production, invasive species, and rural and urban storm water runoff on river ecosystems. Furthermore, the book discusses recent advancements in stream and river restoration efforts.
