For students and practitioners, a comprehensive primer on the key literature in stream and river ecology. The study of streams and rivers combines ecology, chemistry, hydrology, and geology to reveal the factors that control the biological diversity and functioning of these unique ecosystems. Although stream ecology is a relatively young discipline, foundational papers published over the past half century have shaped our current understanding of these ecosystems and have informed our efforts to manage and protect them. Organized by topics such as the physical template, community structure, food webs, ecosystem energetics, and nutrient dynamics, the chapters of this book offer summaries of the key literature, historical and contextual information, and insightful discussions of how past research has influenced present studies and may shape future work.

"Very comprehensive and concise. This book summarizes important papers in the field of stream ecology and ties them into nice packages, which was perfect for a newbie like me. Something I found super helpful about this book was that it did a great job in condensing the information from these papers while still showing the historical significance of their findings. . . . Foundations of Stream and River Ecology helped me catch up on literal decades of the field—and as an undergraduate getting his feet wet, it gave me a strong general feeling for what is a rich, emergent field with fascinating dynamics and applications into other fields."
