<br/><br/> "Freshwater Ecology, Third Edition, covers everything from the basic chemical and physical properties of water to the advanced and unifying concepts of community ecology and ecosystem relationships found in continental waters. It provides a solid foundation for courses and future fieldwork, and is updated to include key issues, including how to balance ecological and human health needs. GMOs, and a host of other environmental issues. This book meaningfully synthesizes the often dispersed and difficult to integrate information on recent advances in aquatic ecology, and is an ideal resource for both students and practitioners in ecology and related fields."--Back cover
