Stream ecosystems in a changing environment

Stream ecology in a changing environment synthesizes the current understanding of stream ecology, emphasizing nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics, and providing a forward-looking perspective regarding the response of stream econsystems to environmental change. Stream ecology has gained increased prominence in recent years because of hightened concerns about the quality and sustainability of fresh waters in the face of increasing human demands on water resources. Each chapter includes a section focusing on anticipated and ongoing dynamics in stream ecosystems in a changing enviromentm aloing with hypotheses regarding controls on stream ecosystem functioning.
