This state-of-the-art, research level text considers the growing
volume of research at the interface of hydrology and ecology and
focuses on:
* the evolution of hydroecology / ecohydrology
* process understanding
* hydroecological interactions, dynamics and linkages
* methodological approaches
* detailed case studies
* future research needs
The editors and contributors are internationally recognised
experts in hydrology and ecology from institutions across North
America, South America, Australia, and Europe. Chapters provide a
broad geographical coverage and bridge the traditional subject
divide between hydrology and ecology.
The book considers a range of organisms (plants, invertebrates
and fish), provides a long-term perspective on contemporary and
palaeo-systems, and emphasises wider research implications with
respect to environmental and water resource management.
Hydroecology and Ecohydrology is an indispensable
resource for academics and postgraduate researchers in departments
of physical geography, earth sciences, environmental science,
environmental management, civil engineering, water resource
management, biology, zoology, botany and ecology. It is also of
interest to professionals working within environmental
consultancies, organizations and national agencies.

streams with particular reference to the macroinvertebrate
community in 1996. Dr Wood has over 11 years experience of
groundwater ecology and hydrological disturbance of freshwater
ecosystems and has published over 35 articles in this area. His
main research interests are in the interaction of freshwater
organisms with their environment
Dr David M. Hannah is Senior Lecturer in Physical
Geography at the School of Geography, Earth & Environmental
Sciences, University of Birmingham and has held this post since
2005. He obtained his B.Sc. Hons in Physical Geography at the
University of Aberdeen in 1994, followed by his Ph.D. in Meltwater
generation and drainage at the University of Birmingham in 1997. Dr
Hannah has over 9 years experience of interdisciplinary research at
the interface between hydrology and climatology and has published
23 articles on this subject.
Dr Jonathan P. Sadler has been Reader in
Biogeography and Senior Examinations Officer at the
University of Birmingham since 1993. Previously he completed a
Ph.D. in Biogeography at Sheffield and an M.Sc. and B.Sc. in
Birmingham. He is a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society and
member of the British Ecological Society. He is also Editor of the
Journal of Biogeography (Oct. 2004-); on the Editorial Panel
(Biogeography) of Geography Compass (Oct 06-) and was Physical
Geography editor for the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of
British Geographers book series (Nov 2000-Jan 06). Dr Sadler has
