Hydroecology and Ecohydrology

Past, Present and Future

Herausgeber: Wood, Paul J; Sadler, Jon P; Hannah, David M

Beschreibung

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.

Dr Wood has over 11 years experience of groundwater ecology and hydrological disturbance of freshwater ecosystems and has published over 35 articles in this area. His main research interests are in the interaction of freshwater organisms with their environment Dr David M. Hannah is Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography at the School of Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham and has held this post since 2005. He obtained his B.Sc. Hons in Physical Geography at the University of Aberdeen in 1994, followed by his Ph.D. in Meltwater generation and drainage at the University of Birmingham in 1997. Dr Hannah has over 9 years experience of interdisciplinary research at the interface between hydrology and climatology and has published 23 articles on this subject. Dr Jonathan P. Sadler has been Reader in Biogeography and Senior Examinations Officer at the University of Birmingham since 1993. Previously he completed a Ph.D. in Biogeography at Sheffield and an M.Sc. and B.Sc.  in Birmingham. He is a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society and member of the British Ecological Society. He is also Editor of the Journal of Biogeography (Oct. 2004-); on the Editorial Panel (Biogeography) of Geography Compass (Oct 06-) and was Physical Geography editor for the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers book series (Nov 2000-Jan 06). Dr Sadler has over 17 years experience of the disturbance ecology of invertebrates, and has published over 70 articles on these subjects.

Rezensionen

"I recommend this book without reservation to any hydrologist,ecologist and water resources manager who works at the interfacebetween hydrological and ecological sciences in riverine systems.Editors and contributors succeed in bridging the traditionalsubject divide between hydrology and ecology." (InternationalReview of Hydrobiology, December 2008)

"I fully agree with the editors' message" (Journal ofSedimentary Research)
