Methods in Stream Ecology offers a comprehensive set of field and laboratory protocols that support teaching and research across stream, watershed, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, and landscape ecology courses. The second edition updates the book to incorporate recent technological advances such as remote sensing and adds new content on stream flow–alluviation relationships and riparian zones, aiming to serve students and researchers in freshwater and marine ecology. It provides chapter‑by‑chapter exercises, detailed instructions, illustrations, formulae, data sheets, taxonomic keys for common stream invertebrates and algae, a website with tables, and an interactive program linked from chapter 22 for modeling fish populations. The edition introduces the stream flow–alluviation relationship, a new riparian chapter, and offers a student‑friendly price, positioning it as a key resource for students and researchers in stream and freshwater ecology.
Methods in Stream Ecology provides a complete series of field and laboratory protocols in stream ecology that are ideal for teaching or conducting research. This new edition is updated to reflect recent advances in the technology associated with ecological assessment of streams, including remote sensing. In addition, the relationship between stream flow and alluviation has been added, and a new chapter on riparian zones is also included.With a student-friendly price, this Second Edition is a key for all students and researchers in stream and freshwater ecology, freshwater biology, marine ecology, and river ecology. This text is also supportive as a supplementary text for courses in watershed ecology/science, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, and landscape ecology. It includes: exercises in each chapter; detailed instructions, illustrations, formulae, and data sheets for in-field research for students; taxanomic keys to common stream invertebrates and algae; website with tables; and, link from chapter 22: Fish Community Composition to an interactive program for assessing and modeling fish numbers.
