Aquatic Food Webs in the Anthropocene

Aquatic Food Webs in the Anthropocene: Impact of Stressors of Emerging Concern, 1st Edition, is a book that examines how anthropogenic drivers alter trophic transfers and aquatic food web dynamics. Published by Academic Press in 2026, this volume synthesizes scientific analyses regarding emerging environmental stressors across aquatic ecosystems.

The material organizes major ecological pressures into distinct thematic research sections. Chapters investigate the consequences of artificial light at night on freshwater food webs, along with the ecological trends and drivers associated with freshwater browning. Further evaluations explore the effects of salinization and examine how rising global temperatures alter bottom-up and top-down ecological controls. The text also assesses structural disruptions initiated by invasive species across freshwater habitats.

A dedicated final chapter details concrete resource management applications and actionable strategies for restoring stressed aquatic food webs. This compilation provides practical analytical value for assessing ecological degradation in surface water systems.
