Opis

Providing a synthesis of basic and applied research, The Everglades, F lorida Bay, and Coral Reefs of the Florida Keys: An Ecosystem Sourcebo ok takes an encyclopedic look at how to study and manage ecosystems co nnected by surface and subsurface water movements. The book examines t he South Florida hydroscape, a series of ecosystems linked by hydrolog y in a region of intense human development and profound modifications to the natural environment.

Recenzje

"Authored by a virtual Who's Who of Florida ecological research … The editors are commended for taking an even-handed approach …In short, this is an extremely useful book. It doesn't have all the answers, but it shows where we should go to try to find them. Everyone involved in Florida coral reef research needs a copy--and that would be the minimum target audience. Although the price seems high, it is in fact a good value. I recommend it highly."
Michael Risk in Limnology and Oceanography

"…there are many…excellent papers on topics ranging from recent changes in seagrass distribution to remote sensing of algal blooms to the potential impact of the Everglades on the accumulation of greenhouse gases."
Richard B. Aronson, University of South Alabama
