The book presents three decades of real-time data on Sundarbans and Bhitarkanika mangroves in India measuring carbon and nitrogen sequestration, as well as case studies that demonstrate the utility provided by mangroves for reducing the impact of storms and erosion, providing nutrient retention for complex habitats, and housing a vast reservoir of plant, animal and microbial biodiversity. Also addressed is the function of mangroves as natural ecosystems of cultural convergence, offering the resources and products necessary for thriving coastal communities. The book will be of interest to students, academics and researchers in the fields of oceanography, marine biology, botany, climate science, ecology and environmental geography, as well as consultants and policy makers working in coastal zone management and coastal biodiversity conservation. 000922017 650_0 $$aMangrove forests$$zIndia. 000922017 852__ $$bebk 000922017 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-20595-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000922017 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:922017$$pGLOBAL_SET 000922017 980__ $$aEBOOK 000922017 980__ $$aBIB 000922017 982__ $$aEbook 000922017 983__ $$aOnline 000922017 994__ $$a92$$bISE
