Freshwater biodiversity: importance, threats, status and conservation challenges
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
This article explores the special features of freshwater habitats and the biodiversity they support that makes them especially vulnerable to human activities and advocates continuing attempts to check species loss but urges adoption of a compromise position of management for biodiversity conservation, ecosystem functioning and resilience, and human livelihoods.
