Description
The importance and ecological significance of estuaries has been long appreciated. In the last few years, there has been increased research
activity, resulting in significant advances in understanding of estuarine ecology. This special thematic volume of Advances in
Ecological Research provides an overview of a number of the important areas. Ranging from the macroscale: how differences in
river basins influence the loads of nutrients, through the impacts and fates of the nutrient loads, to how both phytoplanktonic and benthic
estuarine primary production are regulated. There is also a review of the key factors influencing the outcome of management decisions
for estuaries from the point of sustainability of estuarine resources. This volume is essential reading and reference for all those interested
in estuaries including ecologists, environmental scientists, botanists, and zoologists.
Audience
Research level ecologists in adademia and industry.
