Stress has often been on  pelagic food webs of deeper lakes whilst littoral systems or shallower  lakes have been less thoroughly investigated. Since Dutch aquatic  systems are shallow, as a rule, they form a notable exception. But  here, too, the orientation was often on pelagic food webs.\u003cbr\u003e  The present study has a clearly different scope in that it takes the  water plant as prime perspective. The editors consider water plants to  be the key component in shallow aquatic ecosystems. They have compiled  work on one water plant species, \u003cem\u003ePotamogeton pectinatus\u003c\/em\u003e L., and  from one lake, Lake Veluwe, as a typical case, and set out to explain  the fluctuations in abundance of this water plant as influenced by  eutrophication. A working hypothesis on the mechanism responsible for  water plant decline during eutrophication was adopted and tested in a  combination of field and laboratory work. A simulation model, SAGAI,  for the water plant \u003cem\u003eP.pectinatus\u003c\/em\u003e was developed and proved to fit  independent data very well.\u003cbr\u003e  The work started out as a joint effort of a single project team in the  Department of Nature Conservation of Wageningen Agricultural  University, but the present volume has benefited considerably from the  inputs of several invited colleagues, as the list of contributors  witnesses. The editors have made an invaluable contribution to the  understanding of shallow aquatic ecosystems and to their  scientifically based and sustainable management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401048996\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2032-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260cm x195cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 376\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312089157772,"sku":"9789401048996","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401048996.jpg?v=1771518056","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401048996","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
