Demonstrating the relevance and need of science in planning the future of the Great Barrier Reef and coral reefs worldwide, Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs: Physical and Biological Links in the Great Barrier Reef emphasizes multi-disciplinary processes - physical and biological links - that have emerged as the dominant forces shaping and controlling the ecosystem. The book draws heavily on data from coral reefs in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs: Physical and Biological Links in the Great Barrier Reef covers:

  • Climate and global change
  • Coastal oceanography
  • Wetlands ecology
  • Estuaries
  • Marine biology
  • Land use management in the tropics
  • Fisheries management
  • Coral Reef ecological modeling
  • Biodiversity and the human impact

    Explore how the ecosystem responds to both physical and biological stimuli, and how they interact
    Understand processes imperative to create sustainable design strategies
    Comprehend the connectivity of biotopes - land, mangroves, seagrass, and corals
    Discover the relationship between managing marine resources and managing adjoining land use
    Learn how fish behavior and migration patterns control fisheries

    Forest Monitoring, 12
    <p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
