Limnological Survey of Eastern and Central Lake Erie, 1928-29 (Classic Reprint) by Charles J. Fish Pdf

Excerpt from Limnological Survey of Eastern and Central Lake Erie, 1928-29 The western section, which comprises less than one -eighth of the total area, has a maximum depth of 15 meters. A natural barrier formed by points ex tending from the two shores and two islands (kelly Island and Pelee Island) separates this body of water from the rest of the lake. The waters of the Detroit, Maumee, and Sandusky rivers enter the lake in this area. The middle two -thirds of the lake forms a second section extending from the islands to a shoal having a minimum depth of 13 meters and extending north and south across the lake just west of the 25-meter contour line, in the vicinity of Erie, Pa. This area, the widest part of the lake, forms a broad shallow basin with a maximum depth of 26 meters in its western portion. The greater part of the floor, some times referred to as the Great Plain, is exceptionally even. No major rivers enter here.

Limnological Survey of Eastern and Central Lake Erie, 1928-29 by Charles John Fish Pdf

Abstract: Results of a cooperative survey of the central and eastern basins of Lake Erie in 1928-29 by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, New York State Conservation Department, Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries, Health Department of the City of Buffalo, and the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences are presented in a series of papers. Physicochemical data include seasonal, vertical, and horizontal variations in temperatures, water movements, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, phenolphthalein and methyl-orange alkalinity, pH, chlorides, and turbidity. The species composition, seasonal abundance, and distribution of micro- and macroplankton are discussed in detail. Special consideration is given to the influence of polluted river waters which flow into the lake. It is concluded that the lake is remarkably free from chemical and sewage pollution. Evidence of pollution farther than 1 mile from possible sources was detected at only 2 stations. The nutrient level of Lake Erie is high and the lake should support large fish populations.

A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species by Robert A. Francis Pdf

Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.

Climate Change and Water by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change / Working Group Technical Support Unit Pdf

The Technical Paper addresses the issue of freshwater. Sealevel rise is dealt with only insofar as it can lead to impacts on freshwater in coastal areas and beyond. Climate, freshwater, biophysical and socio-economic systems are interconnected in complex ways. Hence, a change in any one of these can induce a change in any other. Freshwater-related issues are critical in determining key regional and sectoral vulnerabilities. Therefore, the relationship between climate change and freshwater resources is of primary concern to human society and also has implications for all living species. -- page vii.

Biology, Ecology and Management of Aquatic Plants by Joseph Caffrey,Philip R.F. Barrett,Maria Teresa Ferreira,Ilidio S. Moreira,Kevin J. Murphy,Philip Max Wade Pdf

There is a growing need for appropriate management of aquatic plants in rivers and canals, lakes and reservoirs, and drainage channels and urban waterways. This management must be based on a sound knowledge of the ecology of freshwater plants, their distribution and the different forms of control available including chemical and physical, and biological and biomanipulation. This series of papers from over 20 different countries was generated from the tenth in the highly successful series of European Weed Research Society symposia on aquatic plant management, this being the tenth. It provides a valuable insight into the complexities involved in managing aquatic systems, discusses state-of-the-art control techniques and deals with patterns of regrowth and recovery post-management. Careful consideration is given to the use of chemicals, a practice which has come under scrutiny in recent years. Underpinning the development of such control techniques is a growing body of knowledge relating to the biology and ecology of water plants. The authorship of the papers represents the collective wisdom of leading scientists and experts from fisheries agencies, river authorities, nature conservation agencies, the agrochemical industry and both governmental and non-governmental organisations.

Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources,Committee on Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems: Science, Technology, and Public Policy Pdf

Aldo Leopold, father of the "land ethic," once said, "The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to begin with." The concept he expressedâ€"restorationâ€"is defined in this comprehensive new volume that examines the prospects for repairing the damage society has done to the nation's aquatic resources: lakes, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems outlines a national strategy for aquatic restoration, with practical recommendations, and features case studies of aquatic restoration activities around the country. The committee examines: Key concepts and techniques used in restoration. Common factors in successful restoration efforts. Threats to the health of the nation's aquatic ecosystems. Approaches to evaluation before, during, and after a restoration project. The emerging specialties of restoration and landscape ecology.
