Produktbeschreibung

Habitat environments of lakes and coastal wetlands are deteriorating due to their exploitative use and improper management, eroding the biodiversity and undermining the productivity of these unique ecosystems. This book examines ways to restore, conserve and manage lakes and coastal wetlands. It covers topics ranging from biodiversity to modeling and management and depicts case studies from different nations.

Rezensionen

"This book would be very useful to the AGU community, including students, as it offers a fresh perspective on lake and coastal environment issues that tend to be unique in many aspects due to differences in biophysical and socioeconomic settings. Solutions to problems related to these issues can therefore be novel and informative to those working on lakes in different settings." -- Eric Odada, EOS Newletter, 20 January 2009
