Freshwater Biology: Priorities and Development in Danish Research

Description:

Written by scientists from the Freshwater Biological Laboratory, University of Copenhagen, to mark its one hundredth anniversary. The book focuses on the ecology of the types of lakes, streams and coastal waters which are typical of Denmark and on those biological communities which have been studied in detail by the laboratory scientists. Topics covered include: the long-term development of different lakes and brackish waters in relation to anthropogenic influences, the key-role of macrophytes in the ecology of shallow streams and estuaries, the dynamics in the microbial food webs, the regulation of macroinvertebrate communities in lakes and streams, and the ecophysiology of submerged macrophytes and profundal zoobenthos. 1st edition.
