Description / Table of Contents:
Limnological Analyses, a classic textbook now in its second, thoroughly updated edition, consists of a series of carefully designed and tested field and laboratory exercises representing the full scope of limnology. It provides the student with a solid foundation in this complex multidisciplinary field of ecology covering the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of standing and running waters. The book illustrates accepted standard methods as well as modern metabolic and experimental approaches and their research applications. Step-by-step exercises cover topics such as major physical components of lakes and streams, important mineral nutrients, cycling of organic matter, benthic fauna, primary productivity of phytoplankton, quantitative methods in biota analysis, diurnal changes, experimental manipulation of model ecosystems, effects of sewage outfall and other human activites, whole ecosystem and community analyses. Each exercise is preceded by an introductory section and concludes with questions for the student and a selection of suggested readings.
