Why study continental aquatic system? -- Properties of water -- Movement of light, heat, and chemicals in water -- The hydrologic cycle and physiography of groundwater habitats -- Hydrology and physiography of wetland habitats -- Physiography of flowing water -- Lakes and reservoirs: physiography -- Types of aquatic organisms -- Microbes and plants -- Multicellular animals -- Evolution of organisms and biodiversity of freshwaters -- Aquatic chemistry and factors controlling nutrient cycling: redox and O2 -- Carbon -- Nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other nutrients -- Adaptations to extreme and unusual habitats.

Summary: "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
