"Aquatic systems exhibit incredible diversity - from mountain streams to deep oceans, from lakes and ponds
to the estuaries that link river and sea. Despite their distinct characters, however, these systems share common
properties and, at the level of ecology, show many similarities." Ecology of Aquatic Systems brings together
coverage of freshwater and marine systems to illustrate the principles and properties that unify aquatic systems.
Using examples drawn from a wide geographical range, the book presents a broad survey of the field that acts as
the ideal foundation for further study.
