This book is the outcome of rigorous and continuous research
work done by the author over about three decades on the
open ecosystem and dynamic environment of the estuarine Sunderbans.
The objective of this work is to identify the field and factors
changing gradually upon this active delta over the years, decades
and centuries. The deltaic Sunderbans yet not mature enough, has
been changing in its natural course with time. Further,
anthropogenic interferences disturb the environments and accelerate
degradation of nature of this fragile ecosystem simultaneously.
Roles played by almost all the agents including man and environment
and their involvement are identified for the changing environmental
scenario of the Sunderbans. The book is befitted for the
researchers and students for the post graduate levels. The
Sunderbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering parts of
Bangladesh and the southern tip of Indian state of West Bengal, is
a part of world's largest deltaic plain of fluvio-marine deposit
formed by the Ganges and Brahmaputra at the confluence of the Bay
of Bengal. It is the largest single block of tidal halophytic
mangrove forest in the world, conspicuous for its great size and
biodiversity. With an enormous network of channels and creeks,
tidal inundation twice daily, Sunderbans mangroves wetland is a
dynamic and complex ecosystem, which undergoes continuous processes
of erosion and accretion. Natural processes like changes in local
hydrology, sediment motion under wind, wave and tidal action, beach
dynamics, regional and global processes like sea level rise as well
as the impact of human interference in the form of reclamation of
forest land, changes in land use patterns, coastal urbanizations
etc are the lead factors for the changes in the environmental
scenario of Sunderbans.
