Octavo, paperback,351 pp.,photographs, illustrations, maps. Salt marshes and mangrove forests, the intertidal wetlands of the world's coastlines, provide key ecological services to all areas of the globe. This cutting-edge book introduces the essential elements of coastal wetlands and their applications. Richly illustrated, the book opens by introducing coastal oceanography, the physical features of wetlands, their ecology, and human impacts upon them, giving all students the necessary background for wetlands studies.
