A concise reference on the structural composition and function of
microbial communities in coastal environments, especially in
relation to natural and anthropogenic impacts. Microbial
Communities in Coastal Sediments presents twenty years of coastal
microbiology research, grounding it as a vital development in the
field of microbial ecology. It is the first book to focus
exclusively on the complex microbial ecology and its function in
rest of the marine environment. The book outlines the structure,
function, and assessment of microbial communities in marine
sediments while exploring practical methods of assessment. It is an
invaluable resource to aquatic microbiologists, marine ecologists,
marine microbiologists, aquatic researchers, and graduate students
in this field. Microbial Communities in Coastal Sediments begins
with an examination of nutrient sources in the coastal context with
a focus on organic matter inputs. The quantity and quality of
organic matter in coastal sediments and their impacts on the
composition and formation of microbial communities is discussed.
The book explores the consequences of anthropogenic changes and
human activity on microbial ecology and nutrient cycling. Sections
on nutrient availability, green house gas production and
biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants provide essential
details. Molecular research techniques and methods for assessing
microbial community structure and function in coastal sediments are
also covered.
