商品描述
This book seeks to elucidate the complex interplay between pollutants and biotic resilience within freshwater systems. It bridges ecological toxicology with biomonitoring frameworks to advance our understanding of pollution dynamics, species-specific tolerance thresholds, and the bioindicator potential of key taxa. It underscores the importance of integrated methodologies, spanning genomics, metabolomics, and traditional ecological assessments to predict and mitigate contaminant impacts. By embracing the One Health lens, it aligns scientific inquiry with conservation and public health imperatives.
Features:
- Provides insights into biomonitoring techniques, including the use of bioindicators to assess pollution levels and ecosystem health
- Discusses species- and community-level pollution tolerance indices, offering quantitative tools for evaluating ecosystem resilience and stress thresholds
- Delineates ecotoxicological principles to explain the mechanisms of pollutant toxicity, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in freshwater systems
- Reviews related sustainable water management aspects
- Offers an extensive overview of both conservation and aquatic ecological restoration
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental studies and ecology.

這本書旨在闡明污染物與淡水系統中生物韌性之間的複雜相互作用。它將生態毒理學與生物監測框架相結合，以增進我們對污染動態、物種特定耐受閾值以及關鍵類群的生物指標潛力的理解。書中強調了綜合方法的重要性，涵蓋基因組學、代謝組學和傳統生態評估，以預測和減輕污染物的影響。通過採用「一健康」的視角，它將科學研究與保育和公共健康的迫切需求相結合。
特色：
- 提供生物監測技術的見解，包括使用生物指標來評估污染水平和生態系統健康
- 討論物種和社群層級的污染耐受指數，提供評估生態系統韌性和壓力閾值的定量工具
- 描述生態毒理學原則，以解釋污染物毒性、生物累積和生物放大在淡水系統中的機制
- 回顧相關的可持續水資源管理方面
- 提供保育和水生生態修復的廣泛概述
這本書的目標讀者是環境研究和生態學的研究人員及研究生。
