The Blue-Green Algae attempts to assemble a unified picture of blue-green algae as living organisms. It describes the organism's general features of form and structure, cellular organization, cell biology, gas vacuoles, and movements. The book addresses the culture, nutrition, growth, photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, heterotrophy, respiration, nitrogen metabolism, differentiation, reproduction, and life cycles of the blue-green algae. The organisms' freshwater and terrestrial ecology, pathogens, symbiosis, evolution, and phylogeny are also explained. These organisms form a substantial fraction of the biomass in several important types of habitat. Consequently, it is desirable to understand their activities if natural resources are to be conserved and used to best advantage. This book will be useful to students and research workers in this field of interest.

The Biology of Polar Habitats (Biology of Habitats)

The polar regions can be hostile to life but are sometimes surprisingly productive. The Biology of Polar Habitats gives a readable overview of polar habitats, from ice caps to tundra and open ocean. It describes their physical characteristics, the communities of microorganisms, plants, and animals inhabiting them, and their interactions with the global environment. It reviews the origins of the habitats and their subsequent colonization and population dynamics, and considers the future changes that may result from global warming, stratospheric ozone depletion, and human activities. The book is unusual in that it describes and compares the two polar regions, rather than focusing on one. The author's expertise lies in both the Arctic and Antarctica, and his experience encompasses marine and terrestrial ecology. This is the most authoritative and up-to-date book currently available on polar biology. The text provides an excellent introduction for anyone intending to work in research or management in the polar regions. It is also ideal for students in undergraduate and post-graduate courses in biology, ecology, microbial ecology, geography, and conservation.

The Biology of Polar Regions (Biology of Habitats Series)

There is now an increased awareness of the importance of polar regions in the Earth system, as well as their vulnerability to anthropogenic derived change, including of course global climate change. This new edition offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to polar ecology and has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, providing expanded coverage of marine ecosystems and the impact of humans. It incorporates a detailed comparison of the Arctic and Antarctic systems, with a particular emphasis on the effects of climate change, and describes marine, freshwater, glacial, and terrestrial habitats. This breadth of coverage is unique in the polar biology literature. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, particular emphasis is placed on the organisms that dominate these extreme environments although pollution, conservation and experimental aspects are also considered. This accessible text is suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in polar ecology, often as part of a wider marine biology degree program. It will also be of value and use to the many professional ecologists and conservation biologists requiring a concise overview of the topic.

Phytoplankton—the  passively floating or weakly swimming plant life found in bodies of  water—is generally inconspicuous. It is of basic importance in lakes and  seas, however, as the primary producer of the organic material on which  other forms of aquatic life depend; and it is probable that its total  photosynthetic output exceeds that of land vegetation. This book reviews  the information gained from culture studies in the laboratory on the  growth kinetics and metabolism of algae and considers to what extent  this information is applicable to phytoplankton populations in nature.Dr. Fogg has laid a  solid foundation for such future investigations in this precise, clear,  and factual review, which admirably integrates laboratory and field  data. His book will be valuable not only to limnologists and marine  biologists but to many botanists and zoologists who do not consider  themselves primarily limnologists. Judiciously chosen illustrations,  including three full-color plates, add to the usefulness of the text.
