The Afrotropical Streams and Rivers: Structure, Ecological Processes and Management is a comprehensive guide that provides assessment of major rivers and tributaries in Africa. Unlike other books available, the editors present a thorough study of geomorphological, hydrological, biological, and ecological processes incorporating a range of plant and animal communities, while considering implications of human communities that depend upon them. This book, edited by a diverse cohort of researchers and/or scholars, is intended as an educational and practical guide for graduate students, researchers and scientists who focus on the biodiversity, conservation and management/policy issues of the African river systems.
- Provides a comprehensive introduction to African freshwater rivers, their biota, and abiotic processes.
- Contains unique case studies on African streams and rivers.
- Organised around an interdisciplinary approach that covers the complex aspects of conservation and management of African river systems on the continent.
