Acidification of Freshwaters
Acidification of Freshwaters by Anthony Edwards, published by Cambridge University Press on October 27, 2011, is a reissue of a work first published in 1987. This book explores the complex interplay of physical, chemical, and biological processes that influence the acidity of freshwater systems. It addresses both natural acidification and the impacts of acidifying pollutants from human activities, providing a thorough examination of the relative significance of these processes.
Readers will find a comprehensive discussion that integrates concepts from various scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics, geology, and microbiology. The text aims to present a coherent narrative that is accessible to a diverse audience, including undergraduates and postgraduates in environmental science and related fields, as well as policymakers and managers involved in pollution control. The book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the critical issues surrounding freshwater acidity and its broader environmental implications.
Official synopsis Publisher
First published in 1987, this book examines the numerous interacting physical, chemical and biological processes which regulate the acidity of freshwaters. Natural acidification processes are considered first, the the effects of acidifying pollutant inputs from the atmosphere and of other human activities. The relative importance of the different processes is critically examined. Concepts incorporated are drawn from chemistry, physics, geology, hydrology, plant science and forestry, soil science, microbiology and meteorology. The authors have attempted to thread the relevant information together to make a coherent story which should be understandable and useful to readers from a number of disciplines: undergraduates and postgraduates studying environmental science, ecology, water quality and hydrogeochemistry; politicians and managers concerned with pollution control. Indeed, most of the text should be understandable to well-informed non-scientists who want (or need) a better grasp of this fascinating and important topic.
