Description
Book SynopsisProbably the best-studied stream on earth.
The result of unmatched long-term data taken by the Max-Planck outstation in Schlitz from the nearby Breitenbach stream since 1949, the special focus in this handbook and ready reference is on animal and microorganism occurrence and variation, as well as chemical and physical parameters.
An invaluable data basis for modeling purposes for anyone dealing with stream ecology.
Trade Review“Particularly, the long-term data going back for more than 50 years are unique and are valuable resource for everyone in the world dealing with stream ecology.” (Acta Botanica Hungarica, 1 October 2012)
