      abstract = {This book offers a new ecosystemic approach to the  understanding of mangrove and salt marsh ecosystems. Brazil  has one of the largest areas of mangroves in the world,  where salt marshes might or might not be associated.  Different landscapes comprise the extensive coastline,  where mangrove and salt marsh species composition is  discussed through the analysis of physiography, zonation,  and succession processes. Both salt marsh and mangrove  plants and the associated macroalgae will be characterized  in their ecophysiological and phenological aspects, as well  as genetic and epigenetic diversity. The chapters on  microbial diversity and litterfall expose the well-known  importance of these ecosystems as highly productive carbon  sinks and pumps. The associated fauna of invertebrates  (benthic meio and macrofaunas, especially brachyuran crabs)  and vertebrates (fishes, birds, and mammals) are presented  in a special section. The conservational approach  encompasses issues, such as historical ecology, economic  valuation, protected areas, environmental education,  climate changes, and adaptive management.},
