Coastal Marine Ecosystems of Latin America (Hardcover, 2001 ed.): U. Seeliger, B. Kjerfve Coastal Marine Ecosystems of Latin America (Hardcover, 2001 ed.)
U. Seeliger, B. Kjerfve
R5,935 Discovery Miles 59 350 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Coastal and marine ecosystems, some severely degraded, other still pristine, control rich resources of inshore environments and coastal seas of Latin America's Pacific and Atlantic margins. Conflicts between the needs of the region's nations and diminishing revenues and environmental quality have induced awareness of coastal ecological problems and motivated financial support for restoration and management.
The volume provides a competent review on the structure, processes and function of 22 important Latin American coastal marine ecosystems. Each contribution describes the environmental settings, biotic components and structure of the system, considers trophic processes and energy flow, evaluates the modifying influence of natural and human perturbations, and suggests management needs. Although the focus of the book is on basic ecological research, the results have application for coastal managers.

Hydrodynamics of Estuaries - Volume II Estuarine Case Studies (Hardcover): B. Kjerfve Hydrodynamics of Estuaries - Volume II Estuarine Case Studies (Hardcover)

These books are divided into two volumes. The first focuses on estuarine physics and physical processes and interpretations. I have, for the most parts, intentionally downplayed engineering applications to estuaries. It is my bias that a deeper understanding is accomplished with a physical approach, whereas an engineering approach is largely geared toward finding a solution to a problem. Of course, it is not always easy to make this distinction. The second volume is a presentation of physical case studies of several important estuaries, spanning the major geomorphic types. I believe that it can be very useful to all areas of the world. I have consciously strived to be more international to scope in selection of both authors and estuarine case studies.
