The Sierra Nevada, California’s iconic mountain range, harbors thousands of remote high-elevations lakes from which water flows to sustain agriculture and cities. As climate and air quality in the region change, so do the watershed processes upon which these lakes depend. In order to understand the future of California’s ecology and natural resources, we need an integrated account of the environmental processes that underlie these aquatic systems. Synthesizing over three decades of research on the lakes and watersheds of the Sierra Nevada, this book develops an integrated account of the hydrological and biogeochemical systems that sustain them. With a focus on Emerald Lake in Sequoia National Park, the book marshals long-term limnological and ecological data to provide a detailed and synthetic account, while also highlighting the vulnerability of Sierra lakes to changes in climate and atmospheric deposition. In so doing, it lays the scientific foundations for predicting and understanding how the lakes and watersheds will respond.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... erosions (not farther explained), (d) clefts; second, proximate or incidental, the effect of (a) glacial action, (b) subsequent eruptions, (c) drift, (d) damming by drift-wood, (e) beaver dams, (f) irregular subsidence or elevation. There are areas of numerous lakes, but it is not well determined why--perhaps because they are new lands; and areas of no lakes, where the barriers are worn down. In composition: fresh, having overflow, in northern regions that have been glaciated, but relation of effects to cause has not been clearly set forth; salt, in dry regions, no overflow. No examples by name. This paper as published seems too condensed to do justice to its author. Jukes and A. Geikie. Manual of Geology, Edinburgh, 1872, p. 460. Most lakes are in rock-basins, and in northern parts of the globe, in greatly denuded regions; basins are of recent origin. They are found first, behind barriers of superficial accumulations, (a) gravel from side stream, (b) land slips, (c) moraines, (d) irregular deposits of detritus as (1) among morainal mounds, (2) among dunes, (3) on drift or boulder clay, (4) between volcanic cones, (5) in craters, maare, (6) lava dams. Second, in rock basins formed (a) by depression of upper part of valleys (suggested but not admitted), (b) by local subsidence as Dead Sea and perhaps lakes of Central Africa, (c) by sinks, as turloughs of Galway, (d) by ice erosion, for the vast majority of lakes in the Northern hemisphere. A. Geikie. Elementary lessons in Physical Geography, London, 1879, -65. Less explicit than the above, being adapted to younger students. Lakes occur in inequalities in the land surface; many in northern Europe and America; basins in rock, in superficial detritus, behind moraines, in depressions on..

Inland saline waters are threatened worldwide by diversion and pollution of their inflows, introductions of exotic species and economic development of these ecologically valuable habitats. Since 1979 a series of international symposia on inland saline waters has served to strengthen and expand the scope of limnological research on inland saline waters. The seventh conference continued this tradition and the papers derived from the conference focused on the ecology of microbial communities, the influence of habitat geochemistry on biogeography of flora and fauna, physical and geochemical processes, and the conservation of inland saline waters. Of particular note are papers on Walker Lake, Nevada (USA), and the Salton Sea and Mono Lake, California (USA). Continued local, national and international efforts are required to inform the public and decision-makers about the environmental problems faced by saline waters. The papers in this volume will serve this end and should be of interest to aquatic ecologists, limnologists, aquaculturalists, and water resource managers.

The Vth International Symposium on Inland Saline Lakes was held at Hotel Titikaka on the shores of that lake, 22--29 March 1991 with participants from 16 countries. Twenty-three papers presented by the participants, plus an additional one reporting a microcosm study on salinity effects, constitute the present volume. The papers cover the wide array of subject matters and scales characteristic of our `interdiscipline' and represent the symposium well. All manuscripts submitted for these proceedings were critically reviewed by at least three referees and are representative of saline lake research, developed around the world in the three-year period since the last symposium.

This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for California’s remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem type—its distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of California’s ecological patterns and the history of the state’s various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the state’s ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of California’s environment and curious naturalists.
