Nutrient-Loading Gradient in Shallow Lakes: Report of the Group Discussion / Stephen R. Carpenter, Ellen van Donk and Robert G. Wetzel -- 31. Alternative Stable States / Marten Scheffer and Erik Jeppesen. The Structuring Role of Submerged Macrophytes in Lakes focuses on the remarkably diverse roles played by underwater plants. The topics cover the ways in which submerged macrophytes in lakes influence various biological and biogeochemical interactions, and ultimately affect water quality. Emphasis in several chapters is given to cascading effects through the food web as a result of changes in resource and predator-grazer control. The effect of grazing on macrophytes is also included. The book will be of interest to aquatic ecologists, as well as to limnologists, ecosystem ecologists, microbial ecologists, fish biologists, advanced students of limnology, and environmental managers with responsibilities that include lakes. |
