Ecological Aspects of Marine Life

Description

The book Ecological Aspects of Marine Life emphasises the ecological principles that govern marine life in all oceanic habitats. Examining how creatures interact within their specific habitats offers students a distinctive ecological approach that helps them comprehend the practical importance of marine biology. The work is arranged by habitat rather than classification, with each habitat receiving thorough, in-depth discussion that engages pupils in the topic. These include updated information on the intertidal zone, salt marshes and estuaries, tropical communities, and the effects of humans on the ocean. Marine biology strongly emphasises the ecological principles that regulate marine life in all ocean habitats. This innovative ecological method adds practical value by examining the interactions between organisms inside their own environments. Each habitat is thoroughly covered in the text and organised by habitat, giving instructors the freedom to concentrate on their areas of expertise. In Marine Biology: An Ecosystem Approach, the possibility of using bivalves as indicators and monitors of ecosystem health is explored, and experiments are described from the viewpoints of computer simulations, mesocosm investigations, and field manipulation experiments.
