This book is a compilation of  these data: it is the first comprehensive survey of the aquatic  ecology of one of the peripheral areas of Amazonia. The geomorphology  of the country, situated on the Guyana Shield, is the main factor  determining the limnological properties of rivers and creeks. This  results in an overall picture that is quite different from Amazonia.  The emphasis of \u003cem\u003eThe Ecosystems of Suriname\u003c\/em\u003e is on the living  aquatic resources, including aquatic and swamp vegetation, phyto and  zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles and  mammals. Although most of Suriname is still in a pristine state, the  human impact on fresh waters is considerable in those areas of rapid  economic development, emphasizing the necessity of conservation  measures, specially tailored for aquatic ecosystems.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eThe Ecosystems of Suriname\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable acquisition for all  scientists, environmental managers and others interested in tropical  aquatic ecology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401049184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2070-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240.0cm x160.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 317.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398553432204,"sku":"9789401049184","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401049184.jpg?v=1767148285","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401049184","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
