Limnoloogiasse

Limnoloogiasse is the Estonian term for limnology. Limnology is the scientific study of inland waters, which includes lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, wetlands, and groundwater. It is a multidisciplinary science that draws from fields such as biology, chemistry, geology, and physics to understand the physical, chemical, and biological processes that occur within these aquatic ecosystems. Limnologists investigate various aspects of inland waters, including water quality, nutrient cycling, the distribution and abundance of aquatic organisms, and the impact of human activities on these environments. The study of limnology is crucial for managing and conserving freshwater resources, as well as for understanding the ecological health and biodiversity of inland aquatic systems. It helps in addressing issues like eutrophication, pollution, and the effects of climate change on freshwater bodies.
