- Summary
- "Written by eminent marine biologist George Knox, The Ecology of Seashores explores the complex shore environment. This work emphasizes ecological processes and the use of systems analysis in understanding such processes." "The first comprehensive review and synthesis of the research on shore ecosystems, this book lends order to some of the most complex ecosystem types and presents a wide range of geographical examples. It gives complete coverage of the ecology of all seashore types: rocky shores, soft shores, sandy beaches, and estuaries at an advanced level. If you are involved in researching or managing coastal zones, The Ecology of Seashores provides exhaustive coverage of the essential information you need." "Features: presents examples from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres; highlights ecological niches on the shore and the establishment and maintenance of zonation patterns; synthesizes factors such as grazing, competition, predation, disturbance, and succession that determine the distribution, diversity, biomass, and production of various types of consumers; discusses energy budgets, patterns of energy flow, trophic structure, and food webs; and outlines the application of network analyses to gain greater insight into ecosystem processes and to compare different ecosystems."--BOOK JACKET
