In this 2006 volume John Murray investigates the ecological
processes that control the distribution, abundance and species
diversity of benthic foraminifera in environments ranging from
marsh to the deepest ocean. To interpret the fossil record it is
necessary to have an understanding of the ecology of modern
foraminifera and the processes operating after death leading to
burial and fossilisation. This book presents the ecological
background required to explain how fossil forms are used in dating
rocks and reconstructing past environmental features including
changes of sea level. It demonstrates how living foraminifera can
be used to monitor modern-day environmental change. Ecology and
Applications of Benthic Foraminifera presents a comprehensive and
global coverage of the subject using all the available literature.
It is supported by a website hosting a large database of additional
ecological information (www.cambridge.org/0521828392) and will form
an important reference for academic researchers and graduate
students in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
