Product Description
A Special Publication of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)Aquatic Mesocosm Studies in Ecological Risk Assessment discusses the methods currently used for conducting simulated field studies and provides a series of case histories in which mesocosm type studies have been used to assess the impact of pesticides on aquatic ecosystems. Specific chapters address the dosing and exposure components of such studies and how they influence experimental design. Advantages and disadvantages of various statistical designs are addressed in detail. Regulatory aspects of the design and interpretation of these studies are also covered. The book will be a superb reference for aquatic biologists, ecologists, toxicologists, environmental toxicologists, environmental chemists, and regulatory personnel. ... Read more

Product Description
Ecology is the study of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment, including the biotic and abiotic components. There are at least six kinds of ecology: ecosystem, physiological, behavioural, population, and community. Specific topics include: Acid Deposition, Acid Rain Revisited, Biodiversity, Biocomplexity, Carbon Sequestration in Soils, Coral Reefs, Ecosystem Services, Environmental Justice, Fire Ecology, Floods, Global Climate Change, Hypoxia, and Invasion. This new book presents new research on aquatic ecosystems from around the world. ... Read more

Product Description
From the PrefaceThis text is designed to provide a fundamental knowledge of the phenomenon known as self-purification in streams. Sufficient background information and references on stream ecology and self-purification are presented to provide readers with an understanding of the various concepts under discussion. Moreover, along with the stream self-purification process and biological indication of stream health, water quality and source sampling are discussed in depth. Wastewater and water treatment personnel, students, specialists, water resource managers, ecologists, regulators, and water pollution control personnel concerned with activities and preventive measures to prevent stream pollution will find this consolidated information important. Other professional wastewater- and water-related staff from governmental agencies, municipal water supply and wastewater systems, public health departments, and environmental health agencies will also find the information valuable. This text, however, is also intended for readers and groups interested in and concerned with stream pollution and stream contamination control. This text can be used as a basic or supplemental text in undergraduate and technical school courses in aquatic ecology or stream quality enhancement and protection. It can also be consulted as an environmental reference text by school, municipal, and water resource professionals. ... Read more

Product Description
"Pollution in Tropical Aquatic Systems" discusses the physical, biological, microbiological and chemical aspects of pollution in tropical aquatic systems. It draws together much of the available data and information on the effects of tropical pollution into a single, comprehensive text. The increasing research and management interest in tropical systems should make this book of interest to a wide variety of readers involved in pollution impact and control in coral reefs, mangrove systems, and other tropical aquatic habitats. It is aimed at researchers, government regulatory personnel, and consultants involved in aquatic pollution impact and control. ... Read more

Product Description
The physiological ecology of amphibious and intertidal plants was the subject of a special symposium held by the British Ecological Society in March, 1985. This was the first time that this particular aspect of plant life had been the subject of a symposium and it brought together eminent specialists from all over the world, many of whom have contributed to this volume. `Amphibious' is not a word usually associated with plants, yet there are many species of higher plants that have to adjust suddenly from dry-land to an aquatic existence. The problems encountered by both crops and natural flora under soil flood or tidal flood conditions formed the discussion of this international meeting, organized by the Department of Plant Biology and Ecology of the University of St Andrews, Fife. This special publication of the British Ecological Society was produced as a tribute to D. H. N. Spence ... Read more

Product Description
A major concern among ecologists in and outside the ASEANregion is the degradation of the environment, and the overexploitationof freshwater and marine resources. There is as yet no indication thatfreshwater and marine resources are being managed on a sustainablebasis, and loss of wetlands, whether freshwater swamps or mangroveswamps, is a major problem in the ASEAN region. Reclamation ofmangrove swamps for aquaculture and agriculture seems to be acontinuous activity here and the status of marine parks should also beexamined in the light of recent resort development acitivities onsmall islands. This volume contains numerous recommendations for the promotion ofecological studies and regional cooperation in marine, freshwaterecology and conservation, with special emphasis on the common watermasses like the Strait of Malacca, Gulf of Thailand and the SouthChina Sea. ...
