This state-of-the-art, research level text examines the evolution of hydroecology / ecohydrology by focusing on: process understanding, hydroecological interactions and dynamics, methodological approaches and detailed case studies. The book concludes by identifying future research needs.
This state-of-the-art, research level text captures the growing volume of research at the interface of hydrology and ecology and explores the:
evolution of hydroecology / ecohydrology
hydroecology process interactions and dynamics
methodological approaches
detailed case studies
future research needs
The editors and contributors are internationally recognised experts in hydrology and ecology from institutions across North America, South America, Australia, and Europe. Chapters provide a broad geographical coverage and bridge the traditional subject divide between hydrology and ecology.
The book considers a range of organisms (plants, invertebrates and fish), provides a long-term perspective on contemporary and palaeo-systems, and emphasises wider research implications with respect to environmental and water resource management.
This text will be of interest to academics and postgraduate researchers in departments of geography, environmental science, earth science, environmental management, civil engineering, water resource management, biology, zoology, botany and ecology, as well as professionals working within environmental consultancies, organizations and national agencies.
