Ecological Significance of River Ecosystems: Challenges and Management Strategies
()
About this ebook
Ecological Significance of Riparian Ecosystems: Challenges and Management Strategies examines the current issues related to river ecosystems, their environmental importance, pollution issues and potential management strategies. The book is divided into 4 key themes: Basics of river ecosystem, Natural phenomenon of river ecosystem, Human-induced problems of river ecosystem, and Management measures for the river ecosystem. Through these four themes, the contributors present both practical and theoretical aspects of river ecosystem in changing climate. An emphasis has been made on the recent research of climate change and its impact on the river ecosystem.
River ecosystems have tremendous potential to store CO2, however, with changing climatic and anthropogenic activities, these habitats are under threat, and river ecosystems are losing the very vital service of storing carbon. Unlike well documented terrestrial biodiversity, the biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems is still unrecognized to some extent.
- Presents an understanding of the biogeochemical processes of river ecosystems achieved by food webs and diverse biogeochemical processes
- Covers sediment dynamics and nutrient chemistry - hot topics in river ecosystems
- Includes environmental pollution issues in river ecosystems from various anthropogenic activities
