Multiple Stressors in River Ecosystems: Status, Impacts and Prospects for the Future provides
a comprehensive and current overview on the topic as written by leading
river scientists who discuss the relevance of co-occurring stressors
for river ecosystems. River ecosystems are subject to multiple stressors
that threaten their ecological status and the ecosystem services they
provide. This book updates the reader’s knowledge on the response and
management of river ecosystems to multi-stress situations occurring
under global change. Detailing the risk for biodiversity and functioning
in a case-study approach, it provides insight into methodological
issues, also including the socioeconomic implications.
- Presents
a case study approach and geographic description on the relevance of
multiple stressors on river ecosystems in different biomes
- Gives
a uniquely integrated perspective on different stressors, including
their interactions and joint effects, as opposed to the traditional
one-by-one approach
- Compiles state-of-the-art methods and
technologies in monitoring, modeling and analyzing river ecosystems
under multiple stress conditions
