Ponds, Pools and Puddles Hardbackby Jeremy Biggs, Penny WilliamsPart of the Collins New Naturalist Library series\nPonds and pools are a common feature of our landscape \u2013 there are at least ten times as many ponds as lakes in the UK \u2013 and they are also important wildlife habitats.\nThis book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of these freshwater habitats. The first chapter discusses what ponds, pools and puddles are, how they differ from rivers and lakes, their origin \u2013 natural or man-made, the different types of ponds and their abundance and distribution in Britain. A second chapter looks at ponds as ancient natural habitats that have existed for millennia on the earth\u2019s surface.\nAncient pond communities, as preserved in inter- and post-glacial sediments, are compared with modern pond communities.\nThis chapter also examines the physical and chemical environment of ponds, covering aspects such as size, shape and depth, hydrology, oxygen and temperatur.
