Advances in understanding landscape influences on freshwater habitats and biological assemblages
In: American Fisheries Society symposium 90
Sixty-eight authors present current knowledge about landscape-lake and landscape-stream relationships in four continents with a focus on improved understanding and management of fish and macroinvertebrate assemblage patterns and trends. The book includes chapters on (1) finding and interpreting pertinent non-GIS landscape data; (2) use of riverscapes for assessing and interpreting natural and anthropogenic limits on fish species; (3) landscape-lake interactions affecting fish species and lake-river resilience; (4) methods for improving landscape-aquatic survey designs and sampling methodologies; (5) landscape effects on stream habitat conditions; (6) use of hydrologic units or regions for partitioning biotic responses to landscape conditions; and (7) employing landscape variables in predictive conservation modeling.--
