This book offers a comprehensive review of the topic. Chapters cover basic attributes of groundwater ecosystems, the drivers and patterns of biodiversity, the roles of organisms in groundwater ecosystems, evolutionary processes driving the acquisition of subterranean biological traits, and the way these traits are differently expressed among groundwater organisms. The book shows how knowledge acquired among multiple research fields is used to manage groundwater biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of future groundwater resource use scenarios.
