Salt marshes and mangrove forests, the intertidal wetlands of the
world's coastlines, provide key ecological services to all areas of
the globe. This cutting-edge, richly illustrated book introduces
the essential elements of coastal wetlands and their applications.
The book opens by introducing coastal oceanography, the physical
features of wetlands, their ecology, and human impacts upon them,
giving all students the necessary background for wetlands studies.
It then presents detailed case studies from around the world with
extensive illustrations, supplying a wider, global-scale picture of
wetlands geomorphology and biodiversity. The final chapters discuss
some unique applications of coastal wetlands, including geological
monitoring, uses in biotechnology and agriculture, and various
experimental mesocosms. This is ideal as supplementary reading to
support students on a wide range of earth and life science courses,
from environmental science, ecology and palaeoecology to
geomorphology and geography. It will also be a valuable
interdisciplinary reference for researchers.
