Marine ecological processes

Description:

The plan of this book is to present information on specifics about physiological and populational levels of biological organization in Chapters 1-7. Notions of how populations relate to each other, and their environment, are documented (Chapters 8-9) and so community ecology is introduced. This is followed by Chapters 10-12, where major aspects of the chemistry of organic matter and nutrients in marine ecosystem are developed, based on much of the material of previous chapters. Then, having provided the essentials for understanding the working of various processes in marine ecosystems, the final chapters (Chapters12-15) dwell on how the structure of marine communities and ecosystems may be maintained over space and time.
