Description
The subject of marine ecology has moved into an exciting phase where the emphasis in research is on processes and concepts often basic to ecology as a whole. The authors, both experienced teachers of marine ecology, have written a well-illustrated text, now in a revised and up-dated second edition, which reflects the development of the subject and provides a comprehensive yet succinct introduction to a very wide field. The book is principally aimed at undergraduate and first year postgraduates in the biological sciences.
Table of Contents
- The nature and global distribution of marine organisms, habitats and productivity
- the planktonic system of surface waters
- the benthos of continental shelf and littoral sediments
- salt-marshes, mangrove-swamps and sea-grass meadows
- rocky shores and kelp forests
- coral reefs
- pelagic and benthic systems of the deep sea
- fish and other nekton
- ecology of life histories
- speciation and biogeography
- the marine ecosystem as a functional whole
- human exploitation and interference.
