Periphyton is an important component of benthic communities and plays a crucial role in the functioning of microbial food webs. Because of a number of advantages, such as a short lifecycle, relative immobility, more rapid responses to environmental stress and anthropogenic impact than any metazoa, ease of sampling, availability of taxonomic\/molecular identification, and standardized methodologies for temporal\/spatial comparisons, there has, in recent decades, been an increased interest in periphyton as a tool in biological conservation in aquatic ecosystems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yonghong Wu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128010770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128010778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Yonghong Wu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587606524159,"sku":"9780128010778","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/periphyton-yonghong-wu-9780128010778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
