Ecology of Sandy Shores Book
This book constitutes a comprehensive account of sandy-shore ecology, from the physics of sand transport to the nature and interactions of surf-zone, beach and dune communities; from wave types to conservation and management of the system.

Examples are drawn from virtually all parts of the world where sandy-shore research has been undertaken and all beach types are considered, from the most exposed to wave action, to the most sheltered. Although the book is mainly concerned with sandy shores as functional ecosystems, there are comprehensive chapters on pollution, conservation and management. The volume is indispensible to scientists undertaking research on sandy-shore ecology or ecophysiology and will be of considerable value toRead More
