Description
Estuaries are the point of convergence for an array of coastal and ocean environmental issues. Management of these rapidly changing environments requires a whole-system perspective that includes integration of all available knowledge of the ecology, chemistry and physics of estuaries. This work synthesizes the research and writing on marine and coastal environments. Each of the book's five sections introduces a major area of estuarine synthesis; highlights key problems; reports case histories; and recommends types of data to collect, processes to study and models to build for a predictive understanding.
Table of Contents
- Estuarine synthesis - the key points in coastal ecological research
- macro-scale models of water and nutrient flux to the coastal zone
- effects of sea-level anomalies on estuarine processes
- an ecological perspective on estuarine classification
- linking biogeochemical processes to higher trophic levels
- habitat-biotic interactions
- scientific synthesis in estuarine management.
