Springer Tropical and Sub-Tropical Reservoir Limnology in China

Explore the specialized field of reservoir limnology with this scientific monograph from Springer. This volume provides a detailed look into the aquatic ecosystems found in the tropical and subtropical regions of China. It addresses the complex behaviors of reservoirs, which act as unique environments between natural lakes and rivers due to their roles in flood control, irrigation, hydropower, and fishery management. Readers gain access to comprehensive data regarding biological communities, including zooplankton, phytoplankton, and zoobenthos. The text covers essential environmental factors such as cyanobacteria, nutrient budgets, and sediment analysis. It also examines the biogeochemical cycling of mercury and the impacts of eutrophication. This book serves as a vital resource for researchers and students studying the management and biological health of these specific aquatic habitats.
