LIMNOLOGY
WHAT IS LIMNOLOGY?
Definition
Limnology is the
interdisciplinary science that
studies freshwater bodies,
including their physics,
chemistry, biology, and
ecology
Origins
Limnology has its roots in
ancient Greece and has
evolved over the centuries to
become a vital field of study
for the conservation of water
resources..
Significance
Limnology is crucial for
understanding the dynamics
of aquatic ecosystems and for
the sustainable development
of humanity.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
FRESHWATER BODIES
CLIMATE
The climate can influence
the water's temperature, its
movement, and the
available sunlight.
PHYSICAL STRUCTURE
The size, depth, and shape of
the water body affect its
ecosystem and the aquatic
communities that inhabit it.
BIODIVERSITY
Freshwater bodies are
home to a variety of
aquatic species, and to
the birds and animals
that rely on them.

 Impacts of nutrient reduction on
temporal β-diversity of rotifers: A 19-
year (1998 – 2017) limnology case study
on Lake Wuli, China

Introduction
They conducted a 19-year case study on the impacts of
management intervention on the temporal diversity of aquatic
grazers in a lake at the Yangtze River Basin.

Results
Our results imply that stable environmental fluctuations after
management intervention may increase temporal β-diversity and
stability of herbivorous assemblages.
