Ecological significance of river ecosystems
1 online resource (xi, 507 pages) : illustrations (some color), maps
"[E]xamines the current issues related to river ecosystems, their environmental importance, pollution issues, and potential management strategies. The book is divided into four key themes: basics of the river ecosystem, natural phenomenon of the river ecosystem, human-induced problems of the river ecosystem, and management measures for the river ecosystem. Through these four themes, the contributors present both practical and theoretical aspects of the river ecosystem in changing climate. an emphasis has been made on the recent research of climate change and its impact on the river ecosystem. River ecosystems have tremendous potential to store CO2, however, with changing climatic and anthropogenic activities, these habitats are under threat, and river ecosystems are losing the very vital service of storing carbon. Unlike well-documented terrestrial biodiversity, the biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems is still unrecognized to some extent. Ecological Significance of River Ecosystems explores how to protect these areas and so will be helpful for undergraduate or university students, teachers, and researchers working in areas of aquatic ecology and climate change. This book is also useful to the person working in the field of river conservation"--Page 4 of cover.
