Saline Lakes Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Inland Saline Lakes, held at Nairobi, Kenya, August 1985

Limnological research on saline lakes is practiced by a growing cadre of scientists active worldwide in a diversity of disciplines. Every three years since 1979, an international symposium on inland saline waters has served to strengthen and expand the scope of the studies. Promising areas for furth...
