Infos

Marine systems vary in their sensitivities to perturbation. Perturbation may be insidious such as increasing eutrophication of coastal areas or it may be dramatic such as a response to an oil spillage or some other accident. Climate change may occur incrementally or it may be abrupt, and ecosystem resilience is likely to be a complex function of the interactions of those assemblages or species mediating key biogeochemical processes. Biogeochemistry of Marine Systems considers issues of marine system resilience, focusing on a range of marine systems that exemplify major global province types but are also interesting and topical in their own right, on account of their sensitivity to natural or anthropogenic change or their importance as ecological service providers. Authors concentrate on advances of the last decade.

Rezensionen

"[The book] gives an unusual and unique perspective...This is a
well written, up-to-date review of the fundamental mechanisms and
interactions operating in some representative marine systems...The
book could serve as a nice introduction, reference guide, and
source of current literature for students and researchers...

...the book certainly provides a comprehensive introduction to the
major biogeochemical processes operating in the various systems
presented, and it serves as a great starting point for anyone
interested in learning more about and conducting research in these
specific marine systems.

The bottom line: this book is a wonderful research for students or
researchers"
