Water Quality in Cloud Forest Streams (Paperback)

Cloud forests are one of the most species rich ecosystems in the world, but also one of the most endangered. Despite their importance they are deforested at an overwhelming rate all over the world. The scarce knowledge about these fragile systems definately is a hindrance for effective conservation management. This work therefore aims at improving the knowledge of tropical cloud forest streams and of the effects of land-use change on stream water quality.
