Eutrophication Management and Ecotoxicology

This book bridges the gap between ecotoxicology and limnology, offering an ecotoxicological perspective on lake management. The text describes eutrophication of shallow, temperate lakes, and examines the influence of toxic substances on the aquatic ecosystem, and proposes that nutrients like phosphorus are not the only important factor in explaining and managing eutrophication. Draws on a range of studies and experiments, some presented here for the first time.
