This management must be based on a sound  knowledge of the ecology of freshwater plants, their distribution and  the different forms of control available including chemical, physical,  biological and biomanipulation. This series of papers from over 20  different countries was generated from the highly successful European  Weed Research Society symposia on aquatic plant management, this being  the ninth. The contributions provide a valuable insight into the  complexities involved in managing aquatic systems, discuss  state-of-the-art control techniques such as biomanipulation using fish  and waterfowl and the use of straw, and deal with patterns of regrowth  and recovery post-management. Careful consideration is given to the  use of chemicals, a practice which has come under scrutiny in recent  years. \u003cbr\u003e  Underpinning the development of such control techniques is a growing  body of knowledge relating to the biology and ecology of water plants,  including growth responses under different trophic conditions, the  impact of pollution, and aspects of photosynthesis. The authorship of  the papers represents the collective wisdom of leading scientists and  experts from fisheries agencies, river authorities, nature  conservation agencies, the agrochemical industry and both governmental  and non-governmental organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792344339\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5782-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 354\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311852605580,"sku":"9780792344339","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792344339.jpg?v=1771513267","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792344339","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
