Estuaries are among the most biologically productive ecosystems
on the planet--critical to the life cycles of fish, other aquatic
animals, and the creatures which feed on them. "Estuarine Ecology,
Second Edition," covers the physical and chemical aspects of
estuaries, the biology and ecology of key organisms, the flow of
organic matter through estuaries, and human interactions, such as
the environmental impact of fisheries on estuaries and the effects
of global climate change on these important ecosystems.
Authored by a team of world experts from the estuarine science
community, this long-awaited, full-color edition includes new
chapters covering phytoplankton, seagrasses, coastal marshes,
mangroves, benthic algae, Integrated Coastal Zone Management
techniques, and the effects of global climate change. It also
features an entriely new section on estuarine ecosystem processes,
trophic webs, ecosystem metabolism, and the interactions between
estuaries and other ecosystems such as wetlands and marshes
