Freshwater Ecosystem: Ideas And Actions

Description

Freshwater ecosystems are aquatic systems which contain drinkable water or water of almost no salt content. Freshwater ecosystems include lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and ponds. They are some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal life. Freshwater ecosystems are under increasing pressure from human activities, including water pollution, habitat destruction, and over-extraction of water resources. This book covers the fundamentals of freshwater ecosystems, including the ecology of freshwater ecosystems, the threats to freshwater ecosystems, and the management and conservation of freshwater ecosystems. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of ecology, environmental science, and water resources management.
