Ecological modelling has developed rapidly in recent decades, with the
focus primarily on the restoration of lakes and wetlands._ Ecological
Modelling and Engineering in Lakes and Wetlands_ presents the
progress being made in modelling for a wealth of applications. It
covers the older biogeochemical models still in use today,
structurally dynamic models, 3D models, biophysical models, entire
watershed models, and ecotoxicological models, as well as the
expansion of modeling to the Arctic and Antarctic climate-zones.
The book also addresses modelling the effect of climate change,
including the development of ecological models for addressing storm
water pond issues, which are increasingly important in urban regions
where more concentrated rainfalls are a consequence of climate change.
The ecological engineering topics covered in the book also emphasize
the advancements being made in applying ecological engineering regimes
for better environmental management of lakes and wetlands.
* Examines recent progress towards a better understanding of these
two important ecosystems
* Presents new results and approaches that can be used to develop
better models
* Discusses how to increase the synergistic effect between ecosystems
