Lagoons: Biology, Management and Environmental Impact
Description
Coastal
lagoons are particularly complex environments in which the transition
between marine and continental waters is gradual, due to the
continuity of the aquatic habitat. They are characterized by major
fluctuations in chemical and physical parameters, which reflect
multiple interactions between the distance to the sea, water depth,
the nature of the sediment, organic matter quality, hydrodynamic
turnover time, tidal currents, wind forced currents, volume lost by
evaporation, and gravitational circulation. This book presents
current research from across the globe in the study of lagoons, their
biology, management and environmental impact.
