Limnology and Fisheries of Georgian Bay and the North Channel Ecosystems
ISBN: 9789401078948 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'The criterion of true beauty', wrote Fulke Greville, 1st Baron of Burke, 'is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and it is not the mere creation of fantasy.' The authors of this compact volume have increased the beauty of an area that is commonly and rightly ac knowledged to be one of the loveliest parts of the Great Lakes. They have done this by integrating the historical, industrial, and cultural influences on 'Lake Manitoulin' in sixteen manuscripts. It is enigmatic that Lake Huron,...

Limnology in Australia
ISBN: 9789401086363 / Angielski / Miękka / 688 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Australia is the world's driest inhabited continent. Water is our limiting resource. It might therefore be thought that our water resources would be the subject of the most intensive study. Certain aspects, it must be conceded, have received much attention, notably the availability of water in terms of actual quantity. The size of the surface water and the groundwater resource is well understood and indeed receives about as much study as can reasonably be expected in a country with as sparse a population and level of scientific manpower as ours. Although the importance of understanding the...

Transfer Processes in Cohesive Sediment Systems
ISBN: 9781468447651 / Angielski / Miękka / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the transfer of chemical species through the aquatic environment the association with fine sediment particles is often of crucial importance. The n ture, permanence and kinetics of this association is, in many cases, unknown yet it is central to any effort concerned with predicting the pathways of pollutant transfer and the fluxes along them. It is often unclear to precisely what surface, if any, a pollutant is attached. The transfer of species between surfaces and solution may be chemically or biochemically controlled. These processes may take place within a host framework which has a...

Mono Lake: From Dead Sea to Environmental Treasure
ISBN: 9780826354440 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mono Lake is one of the largest lakes in California, and Californians have been using it, enjoying it, and abusing it since nomadic northern Paiutes began hunting the lake's vast bird populations. Controversy between environmentalists and the City of Los Angeles brought so much attention to Mono Lake in the late twentieth century that it became best known for its appearance on "Save Mono Lake" bumper stickers. This thoughtful study is the first book to explore the lake's environmental and cultural history.
Hoffman writes about gold mining in the Mono Basin; the taking... Mono Lake is one of the largest lakes in California, and Californians have been using it, enjoying it, and abusing it since nomadic northern ...

Neusiedlersee: The Limnology of a Shallow Lake in Central Europe
ISBN: 9789400991705 / Angielski / Miękka / 546 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. H. Laffler Interest aroused in the past by Neusiedlersee, located in what was earlier the western part of Hungary, was mainly due to the enormous fluctuations in water level and the consequent threat to the livelihood of the local popula tion, who lived chiefly from stock-farming. Practically no tourism touched the area until 1920, about a century later than Schubert's visit to the Salzkam mergut lake district, the traditional resort area in Upper Austria. Probably because of its small popularity there is almost no documentation in the form of engravings or paintings. One of the exceptions is...

Lake Veluwe, a Macrophyte-Dominated System Under Eutrophication Stress
ISBN: 9789401048996 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The structure and functioning of eutrophicated aquatic ecosystems has received considerable attention from limnologists as well as water managers in recent years. Stress has often been on pelagic food webs of deeper lakes whilst littoral systems or shallower lakes have been less thoroughly investigated. Since Dutch aquatic systems are shallow, as a rule, they form a notable exception. But here, too, the orientation was often on pelagic food webs.
The present study has a clearly different scope in that it takes the water plant as prime perspective. The editors consider water plants to be... The structure and functioning of eutrophicated aquatic ecosystems has received considerable attention from limnologists as well as water managers in r...

Molecular Approaches to the Study of the Ocean
ISBN: 9789401060677 / Angielski / Miękka / 549 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Marine biological science is now studied at the molecular level and although research scientists depend on information gained using molecular techniques, there is no book explaining the philosophy of this approach. Molecular Approaches to the Study of the Ocean introduces the reasons why molecular technology is such a powerful tool in the study of the oceans, describing the types of techniques that can be used, why they are useful and gives examples of their application. Molecular biological techniques allow phylogenetic relationships to be explored in a manner that no macroscopic...

The three invited symposia held during the conference focussed attention on particular topical areas of research within the field of marine plankton, and also provided reviews of chosen aspects of copepod biology. These symposia were...

Temporal Dynamics of an Estuary: San Francisco Bay
ISBN: 9789401089401 / Angielski / Miękka / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Estuaries are highly dynamic systems subject to changes occurring over a spectrum of time scales ranging from very short periods (e. g. over a tidal cycle) to geologic time scales. The nature of an estuary reflects complex responses to many driving forces, each having a characteristic frequency (or frequencies) of change. For example, freshwater inflow to estuaries varies daily in response to short-term events such as storms, seasonally, and between years as a result of longer-term climatic variability. Other important components of weather, e. g. wind speed/ direction and daily insolation,...

Fate and Effects of Oil in Marine Ecosystems: Proceedings of the Conference on Oil Pollution Organized Under the Auspices of the International Associa

Rorsch Member of the TNO Board of Management Like all living creatures man has from the very outset influenced the environment. Initially, the traces of human activity were hardly noticeable and so were their effects on the equilibrium of the ecosystem as such. However, as soon as man learned how to use tools, he was able to influence his surroundings more drastically, and to proliferate more rapidly. As a matter of fact that is the time when things went wrong, because a process was started off which was to continue with ever-increasing speed and on an ever increasing scale. The present...

Süßwasserflora Von Mitteleuropa, Bd. 19/3: Cyanoprokaryota: 3. Teil / 3rd Part: Heterocytous Genera
ISBN: 9783827409324 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 1131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cyanoprokaryotes are probably the oldest organisms with oxygen generating photosynthesis. However, their cell structure and type of asexual reproduction prove their eubacterial origin. This volume treats cyanobacterial types with diversified thalli, with the typical presence of prominent, specialized cells having specific functions (heterocytes, akinetes, hairs, necridia), complex life cycles, and a combination of various reproductive strategies (monocytes, hormogonia and hormocytes). The most diversified heterocytous cyanobacteria with multicellular, morphologically complex thalli have a... Cyanoprokaryotes are probably the oldest organisms with oxygen generating photosynthesis.
