✦ Synopsis

Stream Ecosystems in a Changing Environment synthesizes the current understanding of stream ecosystem ecology, emphasizing nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics, and providing a forward-looking perspective regarding the response of stream ecosystems to environmental change. Each chapter includes a section focusing on anticipated and ongoing dynamics in stream ecosystems in a changing environment, along with hypotheses regarding controls on stream ecosystem functioning. The book, with its innovative sections, provides a bridge between papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and the findings of researchers in new areas of study.

Presents a forward-looking perspective regarding the response of stream ecosystems to environmental change
Provides a synthesis of the latest findings on stream ecosystems ecology in one concise volume
Includes thought exercises and discussion activities throughout, providing valuable tools for learning
Offers conceptual models and hypotheses to stimulate conversation and advance research
