Coastal Ecosystem Processes: CRC Marine Science
Autor Daniel M. Alongien Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 sep 2019
There is a need for documentation and an awareness of just how necessary, yet delicate, is the interplay of biological and physical forces between coastal ocean, land, and the atmosphere. Marine scientists today need to make informed management decisions about sustainable development and conservation of these fragile ecosystems. Coastal Ecosystem Processes provides present and future marine scientists the latest coastal ecosystem information to make the right decisions concerning the ecology of our oceans.

Recenzii
"This will be a useful reference book, particularly because of the inclusion of the tropical literature. It would be very appropriate as a textbook for graduate marine ecology courses, particularly ones that focus on comparative ecology."
--Jane M. Caffrey, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 75, No. 2
"…a balanced approach to the topic…appropriate as a reference for marine ecologists and as a text for advanced courses in coastal ecology."
--C. E. Tanner, St. Mary's College of Maryland
"There is an enormous amount of information in the book and Alongi has done an excellent job bringing together the recent literature."

Descriere
There is a need for documentation and awareness of how necessary and delicate the interplay is among the biological and physical forces of ocean, land, and the atmosphere. Dr. Alongi, an outstanding marine scientist known worldwide for his work on tropical marine systems, presents research on coastal ecosystem processes from both the temperate and tropical perspectives. Coastal Ecosystem Processes includes the information on tropical marine and estuarine habitat problems such as pesticides, pollution, mining, declining fisheries yields, changes in the sea level, atmospheric CO2, and aquaculture. The importance of conserving fragile ecosystems such as mangroves and coral reefs is discussed.
