Large Lakes: Ecological Structure and Function (Brock Springer Series in Contemporary Bioscience) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
The vast majority of the world's lakes are small in size and short lived in geological terms. Only 253 of the thousands of lakes on this planet have surface areas larger than 500 square kilometers. At first sight, this statistic would seem to indicate that large lakes are relatively unimportant on a global scale; in fact, however, large lakes contain the bulk of the liquid surface freshwater of the earth. Just Lake Baikal and the Laurentian Great Lakes alone contain more than 38% of the world's total liquid freshwater. Thus, the large lakes of the world accentuate an important feature of the earth's freshwater reserves-its extremely irregular distribution. The energy crisis of the 1970s and 1980s made us aware of the fact that we live on a spaceship with finite, that is, exhaustible resources. On the other hand, the energy crisis led to an overemphasis on all the issues concerning energy supply and all the problems connected with producing new energy. The energy crisis also led us to ignore strong evidence suggesting that water of appropriate quality to be used as a resouce will be used up more quickly than energy will. Although in principle water is a "renewable resource," the world's water reserves are diminishing in two fashions, the effects of which are multiplicative: enhanced consumption and accelerated degradation of quality.

Reseña del editor
This comprehensive and up-to-date survey deals with the distribution and the structural and functional properties of the large lakes of the world. For the first time aquatic physicists, chemists, sedimentologists and a wide range of freshwater biologists joined in order to assess our current understanding of large lakes. Special interest focuses on physical factors, in particular wind stress, internal waves and current jets which have a particularly strong impact on large lakes. Since they also possess a true free-water zone, large lakes can ideally serve as model oceans.
