Ecosystems Biodiversity
Author: Oscar GrilloPublisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9533074175
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Ecosystems can be considered as dynamic and interactive clusters made up of plants, animals and micro-organism communities. Inevitably, mankind is an integral part of each ecosystem and as such enjoys all its provided benefits. Driven by the increasing necessity to preserve the ecosystem productivity, several ecological studies have been conducted in the last few years, highlighting the current state in which our planet is, and focusing on future perspectives. This book contains comprehensive overviews and original studies focused on hazard analysis and evaluation of ecological variables affecting species diversity, richness and distribution, in order to identify the best management strategies to face and solve the conservation problems.
Marine Ecoregions of North America
Author: Tara A. C. WilkinsonPublisher: Instituto Nacional de Ecología
ISBN: 2923358414
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Describes and maps the North American oceanic and coastal waters, classifying them into 24 marine ecoregions, according to oceanographic features and geographically distinct assemblages of species. Descriptive profiles of the ecoregions describe their key features, in terms of physical, oceanographic, and biological characteristics, as well as human impacts. The book is intended to provide a framework for collecting and organizing information on these regions, and to encourage a sense of joint responsibility and a collaborative strategic approach to dealing with the challenges of conserving the regions' shared oceans.
The American Sea
Author: Rezneat Milton DarnellPublisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623493013
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
For more than a decade, Rezneat Darnell worked on this major synthesis of what is known about the Gulf of Mexico. His goal: to bring a deeper understanding of “the American Sea” to students, scientists, managers, and educated citizens of the public at large. The American Sea builds on Darnell’s own research, the research of his graduate students, government agency research reports, data synthesis reports, and literature summaries to present a holistic view of the Gulf of Mexico. Although he is recognized as a pioneer in the study of continental shelf ecology, Darnell largely resisted specialization, remaining throughout his career “the writer and bringer together of things.” Here, he has written a book that embraces history, geology, geography, meteorology, chemistry, biology, ecology, and human relations in one comprehensive reference. Although it is thorough and meticulous in coverage, what comes through in these pages is the enormity, complexity, and mystery of the world that lies just beyond the Texas vacation beach, the Louisiana wetland, or the Mexico fishing village. In addition to photographs of deep water and other organisms that are included in the book, a number of illustrations have been added to provide excellent visual material, including historical and ocean floor maps and many works of original art depicting marine species, sea turtles, fish, and crustaceans.

Category : Benthos
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The book is a product of the Ecoplata Project, a joint Canada-Uruguay project initiated by and coordinated through the Ocean Studies Program of Dalhousie University. This book is the most recent attempt to summarize the oceanography of the Rio de la Plata, the condition of its environment and the status of the white croaker fishery. The book contains current knowledge of its geologym hydrology and climate, oceanography, environmental quality, plankton and bentho, fish and fisheries biology, the artisanal croaker fishery, and prospects for its future integrated coastal management. The chapters are based and information provided by a team of 30 expert contributors from Uruguay and Canada. There a extensive bibliographies and and index. The book will be valuable reference source for the Uruguay-Canada Ecoplata Project and for the many public, governmental, educational, scientific and private sector groups interested in integrated coastal management for Uruguay and its coastal neighbours . It should also be of interest to many persons working globally in coastal oceanography and integrated coastal management.
