Freshwater Algae Identification, Enumeration and Use as Bioindicators

<p>This is the second edition of <i>Freshwater Algae</i>; the popular guide to temperate freshwater algae. This book uniquely combines practical information on sampling and experimental techniques with an explanation of basic algal taxonomy plus a key to identify the more frequently-occurring organisms. Fully revised, it describes major bioindicator species in relation to key environmental parameters and their implications for aquatic management.<br/><br/> This second edition includes:<br/><br/> the same clear writing style as the first edition to provide an easily accessible source of information on algae within standing and flowing waters, and the problems they may cause<br/><br/> the identification of 250 algae using a key based on readily observable morphological features that can be readily observed under a conventional light microscope<br/><br/> up-to-date information on the molecular determination of taxonomic status, analytical microtechniques and the potential role of
