Summary:

The textbook introduces graduate students to the function and structure of estuarine ecosystems, looking in turn at the physical, geological, and chemical environment; primary producers including microbes; consumer organisms; and emergent holistic properties of estuaries. Among the topics are geomorphology and coastal hydrology, mangrove wetlands, microbial food webs, the ecology of estuarine wildlife, and human impact and management of coastal and estuarine ecosystems. The 13 chapters of the 1989 first edition have grown to 21 here, with discussions of climate change and other matters that have come to scientists' attention during the interval.
