An Ecological Approach to Marine Biology

About The Book

The emphasis of Marine Biology: An Ecological Approach is on the ecological principles that govern marine life in all oceanic habitats. By investigating how animals interact within their specific habitats, it offers students a distinctive ecological perspective that aids in their understanding of the significance of marine biology in the real world. Instead of being classified, the text is organised by habitat, with each habitat receiving thorough, in-depth discussion that engages pupils in the topic. These contain updated discussions of the effects of humans on the sea as well as fresh coverage of the intertidal zone, salt marshes and estuaries, and tropical communities. The focus of marine biology is on the biological principles that control marine life in all ocean habitats. By examining how organisms interact within their specific environments, this distinctive ecological method adds practical value. The material is arranged by habitat, with each receiving thorough, in-depth study, allowing educators to concentrate on their own areas of expertise. Marine Biology: An Ecosystem Approach describes experiments from the perspectives of computer simulations, mesocosm studies, and field manipulation experiments. It examines the potential use of bivalves as indicators and monitors of ecosystem health.
