Synopsis

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the effects of biological - physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic to the global scale. Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems considers the influence of physical forcing on biological processes in a wide range of marine habitats including coastal estuaries, shelf-break fronts, major ocean gyres, coral reefs, coastal upwelling areas, and the equatorial upwelling system. The third edition of Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems fully considers recent significant developments in this rapidly advancing field. Of particular note is new research suggesting that long-term variability in the global atmospheric circulation affects the circulation of ocean basins, which in turn brings about major changes in fish stocks. This discovery opens up the exciting possibility of being able to predict major changes in global fish stocks. Written in an accessible, lucid style, Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems is essential reading for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students studying marine ecology and biological oceanography.

Quatrième de couverture

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up–to–date coverage of the effects of biological physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic to the global scale. Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems considers the influence of physical forcing on biological processes in a wide range of marine habitats including coastal estuaries, shelf–break fronts, major ocean gyres, coral reefs, coastal upwelling areas, and the equatorial upwelling system.

The third edition of Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems fully considers recent significant developments in this rapidly advancing field. Of particular note is new research suggesting that long–term variability in the global atmospheric circulation affects the circulation of ocean basins, which in turn brings about major changes in fish stocks.

Revue de presse

′The authors have done an admirable job. I will happily recommend this text to my students and colleagues .′
K J Flynn, University of Swansea

′I have used ′Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems′ extensively for my undergraduate oceanography teaching to students from widely different scientific backgrounds. The students found the explanation of the physical processes in this book to be at just the right level, being advanced, up–to–date and clear, but without a lot of complex mathematics. The formulae contained in the book are simple summaries of the physical processes and are easy to use.′
Paul Russell, University of Plymouth

"The book is comprehensive, properly organized, thoroughly researched, thoughtfully synthesized and very well written. . . The book should be mandatory reading not just for senior undergraduate and graduate students . . . but also for those empowered to set up and implement policy for ocean governance."
