This book offers a new ecosystemic approach to the understanding of
mangrove and salt marsh ecosystems. Brazil has one of the largest
areas of mangroves in the world, where salt marshes might or might
not be associated. Different landscapes comprise the extensive
coastline, where mangrove and salt marsh species' composition is
discussed through the analysis of physiography, zonation, and
succession processes. Both salt marsh and mangrove plants and the
associated macroalgae will be characterized in their
ecophysiological and phenological aspects, as well as genetic and
epigenetic diversity. The chapters on microbial diversity and
litterfall expose the well-known importance of these ecosystems as
highly productive carbon sinks and pumps. The associated fauna of
invertebrates (benthic meio and macrofaunas, especially brachyuran
crabs) and vertebrates (fishes, birds, and mammals) are presented
in a special section. The conservational approach encompasses
issues, such as historical ecology, economic valuation, protected
areas, environmental education, climate changes, and adaptive
management.
