"Limnological Analyses covers the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of standing and running waters, and provides students with a solid foundation in this complex multidisciplinary field of ecology. The book illustrates accepted standard methods as well as modern metabolic and experimental approaches and their research applications.". "Instructors and students of limnology will value Limnological Analyses for its highly structured, concise presentation and its research-oriented approach that invites active participation. The methodology presented here will also be useful to aquatic resource managers, pollution and water-quality researchers, and all biologists studying the response of aquatic organisms to environmental changes."--BOOK JACKET.

Phytochemistry is a rapidly expanding area with new techniques being developed and existing ones perfected and made easier to incorporate as standard methods in the laboratory. This edition includes descriptions of methods such as HPLC and the increasingly sophisticated NMR and related spectral techniques. Other methods described are the use of NMR to locate substances within the plant cell and the chiral separation of essential oils. After an introductory chapter on methods of plant analysis, individual chapters describe methods of identifying the different type of plant molecules: phenolic compounds, terpenoids, organic acids, lipids and related compounds, nitrogen compounds, sugar and derivatives and macromolecules. Different methods are discussed and recommended, and guidance provided for the analysis of compounds of special physiological relevance such as endogenous growth regulators, substances of pharmacological interest and screening methods for the detection of substances for taxonomic purposes.
