Limnology
Limnology provides an in-depth and current overview of the field of limnology. The result of a major tour de force by two renowned and experienced experts, this unique and richly illustrated reference presents a wealth of data on limnology history, water as a substrate, lakes' origins and aquatic biota. Besides a general part, it gives special focu
Tropical Zooplankton
Our knowledge of the limnology of the waters situated, roughly, between the tropics of cancer and of capricorn, has depended for a long time on the expedition-approach, and therefore developed in a rather irregular, haphazard way, with the personal incentive of a small number of individuals as the main driving force. Things slowly started to change in the 1950s, and at an accelerating rate in the 1960s and 1970s. The IBP, and later the SCOPE and MAB programs, whatever their shortcomings are or may have been, promoted in-depth research of a small number of tropical lakes. For one thing, they showed the need for the creation of in situ limnological research institutes. When, in the 1970s, limn...
Planning and Management of Lakes and Reservoirs
Deals with the problem of eutrophication of lakes and reservoirs by looking at its origin, consequences, solutions, and prognosis.

Limnologia
Este livro vem preencher uma grande lacuna de livros-texto e livros de difusão sobre a ciência Limnologia em língua portuguesa. Representa também um marco na Limnologia tropical, por inserir resultados das pesquisas realizadas nos neotrópicos, tão pouco contempladas em obras similares, escritas e publicadas por autores de outros continentes. A obra sintetiza o conhecimento científico acumulado sobre a história da Limnologia; a água como substrato; a origem dos lagos; a biota aquática e seus principais mecanismos de interações com fatores físicos e químicos; a diversidade e a distribuição geográfica. Os autores analisam e detalham os mecanismos de funcionamento dos principais...
