In this Very Short Introduction, Warwick Vincent outlines the essential features
of lake environments and their biology, offering an up-to-date view of lake
ecosystems.
Vincent traces the origins of lake science (limnology) from the seminal work of
Francois Forel on Lake Geneva at the edge of the Swiss Alps, to modern
approaches such as environmental sensors, satellite observations, stable isotope
analysis, and DNA-based technologies which are used to probe the microbial life
support systems that lead from sunlight to fish.
Drawing on varied case studies he considers the intimate relationship between
humans and lakes, the value of lakes as indicators of environmental change, the
impact of pollution, and our urgent need to improve the protection and
management of these vitally important living resources via an integrated
understanding of their ecology.
