The Biology of Mangroves and Seagrasses (Biology of Habitats by Peter J. Hogarth
By Peter J. Hogarth
the wealthy and various groups of organisms that rely on mangrove forests and seagrass meadows (including tree-climbing shrimps, synchronously flashing fireflies, and 'gardening' seacows); the hyperlinks among mangrove, seagrass, and different habitats; and the evolution, biodiversity, and biogeography of
mangroves and seagrasses. the industrial worth of mangroves and seagrasses is additionally mentioned, together with methods to rational administration of those important assets and strategies for the recovery of degraded habitats. a last bankruptcy, new to this variation, examines the aptitude results of worldwide weather switch together with sea point rise.
As with different titles within the Biology of Habitats sequence, specific emphasis is put on the organisms that dominate those interesting aquatic ecosystems even if pollutants, conservation, and experimental points also are thought of. This obtainable textbook assumes no earlier wisdom of mangrove or seagrass ecology and is meant for senior undergraduate and graduate scholars, in addition to specialist ecologists, conservation practitioners, and source managers.
