Seascape Ecology provides a comprehensive look at the
state-of-the-science in the application of landscape ecology to the
seas and provides guidance for future research priorities. The
first book devoted exclusively to this rapidly emerging and
increasingly important discipline, it is comprised of contributions
from researchers at the forefront of seascape ecology working
around the world. It presents the principles, concepts,
methodology, and techniques informing seascape ecology and reports
on the latest developments in the application of the approach to
marine ecology and management. A growing number of marine
scientists, geographers, and marine managers are asking questions
about the marine environment that are best addressed with a
landscape ecology perspective. Seascape Ecology represents the
first serious effort to fill the gap in the literature on the
subject. Key topics and features of interest include: * The origins
and history of seascape ecology and various approaches to spatial
patterning in the sea * The links between seascape patterns and
ecological processes, with special attention paid to the roles
played by seagrasses and salt marshes and animal movements through
seascapes * Human influences on seascape ecology includes models
for assessing human-seascape interactions * A special epilogue in
which three eminent scientists who have been instrumental in
shaping the course of landscape ecology offer their insights and
perspectives Seascape Ecology is a must-read for researchers and
professionals in an array of disciplines, including marine biology,
environmental science, geosciences, marine and coastal management,
and environmental protection. It is also an excellent supplementary
text for university courses in those fields.
