The ecological condition  of Lake Ladoga is of concern to several million people living in its  surroundings. There is evidence of water quality degradation and  gradual eutrophication of the lake during the past decades; on the  other hand, pollution control measures have improved the situation in  many of the most polluted sites near industrial effluent sources.  \u003cbr\u003e  The first international Lake Ladoga Symposium was held in St.  Petersburg on 22-26 November, 1993. The symposium was attended  by 160 scientists, and about half of the papers presented at the  symposium have been edited for this book. The contributions are  grouped under the following headings: Present state of Lake Ladoga;  Hydrodynamics of Lake Ladoga and other large water bodies; Water  quality and pollution; Ecological studies of Lake Ladoga biota;  History of Lake Ladoga and rates of change in its environment;  Research methods for large lakes. Besides providing up-to-date  information on the state of the lake, the papers deal with studies of  many other large lakes of the cold-temperature zone and the general  problems and methods of large lake research. Furthermore, the book is  a valuable source of reference to the voluminous Russian limnological  literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792339724\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1655-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 328\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343413964940,"sku":"9780792339724","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792339724.jpg?v=1771513274","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792339724","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
