In this 21-chapter book, 68 U.S. and international authors present current knowledge about landscape–lake and landscape-stream relationships in four continents, with a focus on improved understanding and management of fish and macroinvertebrate assemblage patterns and trends. The book includes chapters on (1) finding and interpreting pertinent non-GIS landscape data; (2) use of riverscapes for assessing and interpreting natural and anthropogenic limits on fish species; (3) landscape-lake interactions affecting fish species and lake-river resilience; (4) methods for improving landscape-aquatic survey designs and sampling methodologies; (5) landscape effects on stream habitat conditions; (6) use of hydrologic units or regions for partitioning biotic responses to landscape conditions; and (7) employing landscape variables in predictive conservation modeling. A final chapter synthesizes the preceding chapters, summarizes major advancements in landscape-aquatic ecology, discusses key remaining research gaps, and lists major policy needs. Those advancements include identifying more meaningful spatial units, determining how hu-man pressures modify aquatic systems, resolving and measuring how factors occurring at different spatial extents interactively influence aquatic sys�tems, and acquiring quantitative landscape and aquatic data. This book will appeal to a wide spectrum of resource professionals ranging from academic researchers and students to natural resource managers.
