An Ecosystem Approach to Aquatic Ecology: Mirror Lake and Its Environment

Description:

A detailed ecological study of Mirror Lake, Carroll County, New Hampshire, edited by the influential American ecologist Gene E. Likens. Drawing on research associated with the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, the work examines the lake together with its surrounding watershed as an integrated ecological system, covering hydrology, water chemistry, nutrient cycling, biological communities, productivity and the movement of materials between terrestrial and aquatic environments. An important contribution to modern limnology and ecosystem ecology, illustrating the development of whole-ecosystem and watershed approaches to the study of freshwater environments.
