This book explores the biological diversity of small invertebrates living on and in the bottom of the Illinois River, as well as the plants on which they feed and how these organisms serve as food for other aquatic life. The study was conducted over a number of years and includes data from three summers of dredging and sampling over 180 miles of river. This book goes into detail about the composition of the river's bottom muds and the role of invertebrates in converting organic materials into compounds suitable for the nutrition of clean-water plants and animals.
