Description
Published ecological information on Latin American coasts is scarce, despite the growing need for a comprehensive examination of coastal
processes on a global scale. This book brings together details on benthic marine algae, seagrasses, salt marsh, mangrove, and dune plant
communities throughout Latin America.
Researchers and graduate students in plant ecology, marine biology, and environmental management
will benefit from the valuable information in this book.
Audience
Researchers and graduate students in plant ecology, marine biology, and environmental management.
