Striking full colour illustrations and photographs bring this
integrated and stimulating survey of marine ecology to life.
Through its unique structure, Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems,
and Impacts offers a systems-orientated approach from a truly
modern and global perspective. The text introduces key processes
and systems from which the marine environment is formed and the
issues and challenges which surround its future. Opening with an
overview of the processes and interactions which are central to an
understanding of marine ecology, the book goes on to explore the
diverse systems from which the marine environment is composed, from
estuaries to seabeds, the deep sea to polar regions. Detailed case
studies form the basis of the pedagogy, highlighting issues from a
diverse range of marine systems in a digestible way. In this third
edition, more of an emphasis is placed on climate change and
looking towards future challenges, since the importance of
understanding and conserving the marine environment has never been
more apparent. There is also a new chapter on the value of the
ocean to society which discusses key topics such as natural capital
and food security. Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems, and Impacts
is a carefully balanced, positive and considered text, containing
measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse effects on this
complex, fragile environment. It is an essential resource for any
student wishing to develop a well-balanced, informed understanding
of this fascinating subject.
