Mangrove Dynamics and Management in North Brazil. 2010. (Ecological Studies, 211). XVIII, 402 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Mangrove ecosystems are being increasingly threatened by human activities. Their biotic productivity supplies food and other resources to the human population that inhabit or make use of them. This volume highlights the results of a ten-year German/Brazilian research project in one of the largest continuous mangrove areas of the world, located in northern Brazil. Based on the analysis of the ecosystem dynamics, management strategies for the conservation and sustainable use of mangroves are presented and discussed. Beyond the scientific results, this book also provides guidelines for the development of international cooperation projects.
