It aims to shed light on relevant topics for budding marine ecologists. The ℓ́ℓblue soupℓ́ℓ of Planet Earth, which comprises both biotic and abiotic components, is essential to keeping the wheel of civilization running. Four major ecosystem service categories have been identified within this context, namely℗ℓprovisioning services℗ℓsuch as water, food, mangrove timber, honey, fish, wax, fuel wood, fodder and bioactive compounds from marine and estuarine flora and fauna;℗ℓregulating services℗ℓsuch as the regulation of climate, coastal erosion, coral bleaching and pollution;cultural services℗ℓencompassing recreational (tourism), spiritual and other non-material benefits; and℗ℓsupporting services℗ℓsuch as nutrient cycling and photosynthesis. These valuable services are obtained from various resources that must be conserved for the sake of humanity. This book presents data for each resource type, not just in the form of a simple description, but also through case studies that resulted from several research projec ts and pilot programs carried out in different parts of the world. Statistical tools were also used to critically analyze the influence of relevant hydrological parameters on the biotic community. Advanced research in marine and estuarine ecology is based on the use of sophisticated instruments, sampling precision, statistical tools, etc., which have also been highlighted in the book. 000753692 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 15, 2016). 000753692 650_0 $$aMarine ecology. 000753692 650_0 $$aEstuarine ecology. 000753692 7001_ $$aZaman, Sufia,$$d1978-$$eauthor. 000753692 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMitra, Abhijit$$tBasics of Marine and Estuarine Ecology$$dNew Delhi : Springer India,c2016$$z9788132227052 000753692 852__ $$bebk 000753692 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-81-322-2707-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000753692 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:753692$$pGLOBAL_SET 000753692 980__ $$aEBOOK 000753692 980__ $$aBIB 000753692 982__ $$aEbook 000753692 983__ $$aOnline 000753692 994__ $$a92$$bISE
