Limnoecology: The Ecology of Lakes and Streams

by Ulrich Sommer and Winfried Lampert

Customer Reviews

great book on Limnoecology

The best thing I found about this book was the explanation of basic concepts of aquatic parameters and behaviors.After reading this book I found myself having hold on the topic and many other related topics. I would highly recommend this book to Environmental Engineering/Science students and specially whose focus of research is limnoecology. One interesting thing, that this is the only book with the title "Limnoecology". I congratulate lampert and Sommer for their great work.
