"Freshwater algae are among the most diverse and ubiquitous organisms on earth. They
occupy an enormous range of ecological conditions from lakes and rivers to acidic
peat swamps, inland saline lakes, snow and ice, damp soils, wetlands, desert soils,
wastewater treatment plants, and are symbionts in and on many plants, fungi, and animals.
In North America, the variety of freshwater habitats colonized by algae is very rich,
and offers an enormous and fascinating range of environments for their study. They
form the base of most aquatic food webs and are critical to studies of ecosystem health.
This book provides in one volume a practical and comprehensive guide to the genera
of freshwater algae known from North America. The format combines the necessary ecological,
taxonomic and methodological information for all scientists working in aquatic environments,
whether their specialty is in environmental monitoring and water quality assessment,
biological composition, ecology, evolution, or molecular biology."--Jacket
