    • English
    Stream and river ecology has been an exceptionally vibrant and rapidly evolving science since the first edition of Methods in Stream Ecology was published in 1996. The second and third editions have then grown with the science and have directly influenced and assisted in the development of stream ecology as a major scientific discipline. Each chapter that has carried over into the new edition has been updated significantly according to new knowledge. Methods in Stream Ecology, 4th edition, contains new chapters as novel methods and molecular techniques have developed to expand on new research questions and ideas, while some chapters from the previous editions were eliminated or combined to reflect current trends. This new edition provides updated information on streams and rivers as dynamic features of the landscape and vital to sustaining biodiversity and human well-being. Methods in Stream Ecology, 4th edition, is integral to propelling stream and river ecology forward over the next several decades and continuing to provide essential guidance to students, teachers, and aquatic ecologists by offering state-of-the-art teaching and research resources.

  • Marine Biodiversity Valuation Assessments

  • Wetlands in a Climate-Changing World

    • 1st Edition
    • Yuanchun Zou + 2 more
    • English
    Wetlands in a Climate-Changing World aims to clarify our understanding of natural wetland structures, processes, and functions in the context of a changing climate, drawing on real-life case studies to help the reader comprehend current knowledge related to wetland research under the background of climate change. Unlike other terrestrial ecosystems, wetlands are more directly connected to, and influenced by, climate change. They help mitigate global warming by serving as CO2 sinks and organic carbon reservoirs, but they also contribute to warming by emitting CH4.As wetlands are vital ecosystems worldwide, possessing unique and irreplaceable natural resources and ecological functions, this book is a great addition to research on presented topics.
