Shallow lakes differ from deep ones in many aspects of nutrient dynamics, biotic structure and interactions of various trophic levels. Though very common in European lowlands, shallow lakes attract inadequate attention from research teams. This book aims at filling gaps in our knowledge of the processes which take place in non-stratified lakes. It contains proceedings from the international conference "Shallow Lakes 95" held in Mikolajki, Poland, on 20-26 August 1995. More than 50 original papers present views on eutrophication, degradation and recovery of shallow lakes. The first four sections of the book (nutrient fluxes, biotic structure, trophic interactions, and whole lake studies) deal with theoretical aspects of lake functioning, while the fifth (biomanipulation, restoration and management) is devoted to practical measures undertaken to improve water quality in shallow lakes. The book is therefore addressed to university biologists and ecologists and PhD students, as well as to managers involved in the restoration of shallow lakes.
