DOWNLOAD EBOOKAquatic ecosystems are diverse habitats, endowed with physical, chemical, and geographical variations in the world, where the gradation from highly productive organisms to highly specialized organisms exists. The Mother Planet (Earth) is the only one in our solar system, characterized and shaped by abundant liquid; water - a necessity for life. Although water characterizes this planet, majority of it is saline in nature (97.2%) and contained in the world's ocean. Only 2.8% is fresh water, including 2.05% frozen in glaciers, 0.68% as groundwater, and only a tiny fraction (0.011%) of our water resources is contained in freshwater i.e. ponds, rivers and lakes. This water is available first in the form of surface water through rivers and lakes. The river is a prime example of lotic ecosystem. It is a wide, natural stream of fresh water that flows into an ocean, and is usually fed by smaller streams, called tributaries that enter it along its course. A river and its tributaries form a drainage basin or watershed that collects the run-off throughout the region and channels along with erosional sediments toward the river. Rivers are described by unidirectional flow, continuous state of physical change, high degree of spatial and temporal heterogeneity including biotic (aquatic plant, organisms and plankton) as well as abiotic (physical and chemical) interactions. There are 14 major rivers, 44 medium rivers and 53 small rivers in India. Major rivers have been proved to be the seat for the setup of big cities and their educational, political and regional developments. The state of Gujarat has been profusely endowed with number of perennial rivers such as Narmada, Tapi, Mahi and Sabarmati. The book Trophodynamics, Biodiversity and Conservation of Rivers of Gujarat focuses on environmental, ecological, and biological studies of two major rivers viz. Banas and Meshwo, Western Gujarat, India, covering abiotic and biotic components, eutrophication, hydrochemistry, geochemistry, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and streamers (macroinvertebrates). The book highlights an in-depth study of surface water and bottom sediment quality, diversity, density, abundance, commonness, rarity of plankton including qualitative and quantitative characters, diversity indices, population dynamics of streamers, and correlation between abiotic and biotic components. The book would unquestionably be the need of an hour for wetland managers, riverine conservationists, and policy makers or decision authorities to prevent the unrestrained exploitation of stream biodiversity, destruction of potential riverine habitats, and uncontrolled interactions of man and technology with lotic ecosystems of the world.

The book Pollution Studies of Sabarmati River and Kharicut Canal, Ahmedabad, Gujarat focuses on environmental, ecological, and biological studies of two rivers viz. Sabarmati (River Front) and Kharicut Canal (Industrial River), Central Gujarat, India, covering abiotic (hydrochemical characteristics, geochemical characters), nutrient budget, recycling of nutrients, biotic components (microbial analysis: Total Coliform, Faecal Coliform; phytoplankton, zooplankton), eutrophic status, and heavy metals in surface water and bottom sediment. The book also highlights an in-depth study of surface water and bottom sediment quality, diversity, density, abundance, commonness, rarity of plankton (phytoplankton, zooplankton) including qualitative and quantitative characters, diversity indices, population dynamics, and correlation between abiotic and biotic components. The book would indubitably be a standard reference guide for riverine conservationists, river managers, policy makers, and decision makers to prevent the unrestrained exploitation of stream biodiversity, destruction of potential riverine habitats, and uncontrolled interactions of man and technology with lotic ecosystems of the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book “Ecological and Environmental Science: A Research Perspective” is a compilation of authors' original research papers, scientific articles, review articles, popular articles, general articles, and short notes on forest ecology, wetland ecology, plant ecology, bird ecology, and animal ecology. The book is a perfect amalgamation of burgeoning and thrust topics spanning biodiversity, and conservation and management of floral and faunal elements including ecology and biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, aquatic macrophytes, mangroves, terrestrial plants, animals (butterflies, reptiles, mammals) and birds. It covers ecological and environmental factors affecting abiotic and biotic components prevailed in forest, desert, grassland and wetland habitats and ecosystems. The present book highlights field studies and laboratory investigations carried out by the authors during their research journey of 22 years (1998-2020). It discusses phenology, ethnobotanical, ethnomedicinal and aesthetic values of plants, resource use patterns by local inhabitants, socio-cultural aspects, livelihood dependency, rare and endangered plants, animals and birds, anthropogenic pressures, conservation and management strategies of endemic, exotic, and invasive species, and so on. The book covers unique and promising research topics e.g. hydrochemistry, geochemistry, biomonitoring of heavy metals in aquatic and terrestrial plants, metal remediation, environmental modeling, environmental archaeology, environmental bioindicators, environmental forensics, etc. The authors believes that this book is a perfect blend of their research work on two integral branches of biology i.e. ecology and environmental science, which will undoubtedly enrich and enhance the knowledge and awareness of laymen and scientific community world over especially in the field of ecology and biodiversity of plants, animals, and birds, associated with physical, chemical, biological, ecological and environmental factors. The present book would certainly be useful and handy as a ready-reference material for students, academicians, researchers, scientists, ecological and environmental consultants, restoration specialists, practitioners, conservationists, and biodiversity managers at regional, national and global platform.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEstuaries and the lands surrounding them are places of transition from land to sea and from fresh to salt water. Although influenced by the tides, estuaries are protected from the full force of ocean waves, winds, and storms by the reefs, barrier island or fingers of land, mud or sand that define an estuary's seaward boundary. In India, estuaries have been a focal point of activities for human settlement, for development of port and harbors. The health status and the biological diversity of the Indian estuarine ecosystem are deteriorating day-by-day through man-made activities and dumping of enormous quantities of sewage and industrial effluent. They are "nurseries of the sea", as it is an ideal location for fish, shellfish, and other marine animals to reproduce in protected environment and availability of abundant food. Besides, estuaries are important for the health of the oceans as it can filter sediment and pollutants from the water before it flows into the oceans. Estuaries are vulnerable to excessive loading of nutrients by runoff containing fertilizer and other pollutants. Estuaries are among the most complex and complicated ecosystems in the biosphere because they are at the interface of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems. Estuaries are ecologically very important because it provides vital habitats for thousands of marine species. In recent decades, population growth and related activities (agricultural practices, wastewater treatment plants, urban run-off, and the burning of fossil fuels) have increased nutrient inputs by many folds than the levels that occur naturally. The present book Eutrophication of Narmada and Tapi Tropical Estuaries, Gulf of Khambhat, India explores the two major estuaries (Narmada, Tapi), and Gulf of Khambhat, Gujarat, India, in terms of an in-depth study of hydrochemistry, geochemistry, biodiversity (phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic community), along with site-specific challenges and their solutions in both the estuarine and gulf environs. The book will certainly be useful to students, researchers, academicians, scientists, and marine authorities of Gujarat as well as India, to enrich their knowledge in the field of ecology, biodiversity, conservation, restoration, and management of estuarine and gulf environs.
