{"product_id":"estuarine-ecosystem","title":"Estuarine Ecosystem","description":"For the inhabitants of many of the world's major towns and cities, estuaries provide their first and nearest glimpse of a natural habitat. Despite the attempts of man to pollute or reclaim it, the estuarine ecosystem continues to provide a fascinating insight into a natural world where energy is transformed from sunlight into plant material, and then through the steps of a food chain is converted into a rich food supply for birds and fish.\n\n The book provides a concise readable introduction to estuarine ecology. First published in 1981, it soon established itself as the principle textbook of choice in the UK \u0026amp; NW Europe. This new edition builds upon the strengths of the earlier editions but has been thoroughly revised throughout. The new co-author brings a human impact dimension to the revised book. It is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students (particularly taught masters) who have had a general ecology course, but no further training in estuarine science. It will be useful to both professional researchers and practical managers in marine ecology and environmental science who seek a compact but comprehensive introduction to estuarine ecology.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54228844151128,"sku":"9780198525080","price":78.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780198525080_13468256-086f-4d68-9fb0-071395e6ff8c.jpg?v=1749997844","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/estuarine-ecosystem","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
