Marine macrophytes (macroalgae, seagrasses, and mangroves) comprise
thousands of species distributed in shallow water areas along the
world's coastlines. They play a key role in marine ecosystems
regarding biodiversity and energy flow. A large proportion of
macrophyte species can be characterised as ecosystem
engineers-organisms that directly or indirectly affect the
availability of resources to other species by modifying,
maintaining, and creating habitats. This book is divided into three
main themes: * Marine macroalgae and seagrasses as sources of
biodiversity gives an overview of the diversity of the main
organisms associated with macrophytes, and their functional role
and interactions within their hosts. * Primary and secondary
production of Macrophytes synthesizes research on food web
structures derived from/or associated with, macrophytes and the
transfer of macrophytic primary and secondary production from one
ecosystem to another. * Threats to macrophytic ecosystem engineers
addresses human-induced effects including eutrophication, physical
destruction, invasive species, and global warming. The book is
among the first one to concentrate on the value of macrophytes for
the well-being of marine habitats. The book is aimed at academics
but may be useful for students, policy makers, and laymen alike.
