At foot of title page: Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne; CRC for Freshwater Ecology, Monash University; supported by The R.E. Ross Trust.Algae are a vital part of the aquatic ecosystem, providing food and shelter for other organisms. They play a crucial role in the ability of an aquatic system to absorb nutrients and heavy metals. even if in some cases they cause a deterioration in water quality themselves. As a major part of the world's biodiversity, algae contain a vast array of different biochemistries, morphologies and life cycles. What is more, they are often spectacularly beautiful under the microscope. Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Trust collection. Includes bibliographical references and index.
