  • - A Food Chain Approach
    af Joanna Burger
    2.079,95 kr.

    Based on longitudinal studies¿some into their fifth decade¿of colonial waterbirds, this book provides a clear picture of the corrosive effects of heavy metals in the aquatic environment today. Colonial-nesting birds can serve as excellent bioindicators and sentinels for both human and ecological health. This book takes a food-web, ecosystem approach to contaminants, using population dynamics, habitat selection, and inputs to the bay to examine metal levels. It includes the human dimension, discusses what metals in birds tell us about human exposure, and describes stakeholder involvement in these issues.

  • - Long-Term Effects of Climate and Nutrient Loading on Trophic Organization

  • - Origin and Succession of Plankton Blooms and Effects on Secondary Production in Gulf Coast Estuaries
    af Robert J. (The Florida State University Livingston
    2.315,95 kr.

    Derived from research spanning over 31 years in a series of studies of seven major river-estuaries, this presents a comprehensive review of the nature of the eutrophication process and how short- and long-term nutrient loading affects marine systems. It is the culmination of advanced research on how coastal systems work.

    Designed to meet the research, monitoring and assessment needs of scientists, planners, managers and administrators, this reference covers pollution in coastal and estuarine waters. It includes general concepts, case histories, and more.

  • - Anthropogenic Effects
    af Michael J. Kennish
    4.188,95 kr.

    Offers information available on the human impact on estuarine ecosystems. This volume discusses both acute and insidious pollution problems plaguing these coastal ecotones. It also provides an examination of the deleterious and pervasive effects of human activities on biotic communities and sensitive habitat areas in estuaries.

  • af James B. McClintock
    2.444,95 kr.

    The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is a dynamic science. This book provides cellular, physiological, organismal, evolutionary, and applied perspectives and creates a high-resolution snapshot of the field at the start of the 21st century. It also includes subject reviews by experts.

    Simplistic thinking would have us believe that by eliminating the loading of a given pollutant, an aquatic system will revert to its previous pristine state. This text looks at the restoration of aquatic systems, emphasizing the functional basis that supports such activities, followed by a review of the evidence of recovery.

    The science of sea turtle biology has expanded at an exponential rate, leading to major advances in many areas. This book synthesizes the results of these advances and focuses on how these endangered marine reptiles operate in, adapt to, and are dependent upon particular features of their marine environment.

  • af George A. Knox
    2.388,95 kr.

    Explores the complex shore environment. This title covers the ways in which representative species have adapted to life in a constantly changing environment in terms of their interactions, the control of community structure, and how energy and materials are cycled in different ecosystems.

  • - River Mouths, Tidal Flats, and Coastal Lagoons
    af Eisma Doeke
    2.934,95 kr.

    Based on years of research conducted by the author and papers from international experts, this title presents a cohesive overview of intertidal deposits and the widely diverse conditions of their formation worldwide. It includes the influence of water movements, climate, sediment particle characteristics, vegetation, fauna, and man.
