درباره این کتاب:
Mangroves and
seagrasses form extensive and highly
productive ecosystems that are both
biologically diverse and economically
valuable. This book, now in its third
edition and fully updated throughout,
continues to provide a current and
comprehensive introduction to all aspects
of the biology and ecology of mangroves
and seagrasses. Using a global range of
examples and case studies, it describes
the unique adaptations of these plants to
their exacting environments; the rich and
diverse communities of organisms that
depend on mangrove forests and seagrass
meadows (including tree-climbing shrimps,
synchronously flashing fireflies, and
'gardening' seacows); the links between
mangrove, seagrass, and other habitats;
and the evolution, biodiversity, and
biogeography of mangroves and seagrasses.
The economic value of mangroves and
seagrasses is also discussed, including
approaches to rational management of these
vital resources and techniques for the
restoration of degraded habitats. A final
chapter, new to this edition, examines the
potential effects of global climate change
including sea level rise.
As with other titles in the Biology of
Habitats Series, particular emphasis is
placed on the organisms that dominate
these fascinating aquatic ecosystems
although pollution, conservation, and
experimental aspects are also considered.
This accessible textbook assumes no
previous knowledge of mangrove or seagrass
ecology and is intended for senior
undergraduate and graduate students, as
well as professional ecologists,
conservation practitioners, and resource
managers.
