Springer - The Freshwater Ecosystems of Suriname Monograph 70

Explore the unique aquatic environments of Suriname with this specialized scientific text from Springer. This book provides the first comprehensive survey of aquatic ecology in one of the peripheral areas of the Amazonia region. By compiling decades of data collected since the limnological research on the Brokopondo Reservoir began in the 1960s, it offers a deep look into the rivers and swamps of this territory. Readers will learn how the geomorphology of the Guyana Shield acts as the main factor determining the limnological properties of local rivers and creeks. This scientific study highlights how these ecosystems create an overall picture that differs significantly from the main Amazonia region. It is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in the biological sciences and the specific habitats found within the Surinam freshwater systems.
