Description
Freshwater Ecology, Third Edition, covers everything from the basic chemical and physical properties of water, to the advanced and unifying concepts of community ecology and ecosystem relationships found in continental waters. Giving students a solid foundation for both courses and future fieldwork, and updated to include key issues, including how to balance ecological and human health needs, GMOs, molecular tools, fracking, and a host of other environmental issues, this book is an ideal resource for both students and practitioners in ecology and related fields.

Audience
Undergraduate students taking courses in Freshwater Ecology and Limnology. Introductory graduate students taking courses in Freshwater Ecology and Limnology
I recommend this book to the readers and students who are interested in limnology, hydrobiology, and freshwater ecology. The answers to Questions for Thought might be added to the end of the book for undergraduate students. Some chapters might be extended for graduate students such as chapter 23, appendix (might be an extra chapter with upto date literature).
