This extensive coverage looks at the effects of CO2 acidification throughout all oceans and coastal areas. In addition, the book describes integrative approaches based on global case studies to determine the effects associated with this kind of acidification. It allows the reader to understand the different sources of CO2 in the aquatic ecosystems and the different approaches and lines of evidence available to characterize the impact of this acidification.
This book provides researchers, professors and post graduate students in oceanography and aquatic ecology with a new and complete tool set to address and understand the potential impacts of CO2 acidification in aquatic ecosystems.
- Presents case studies and new data related to CO2 acidification in aquatic ecosystems
- Includes new approaches for understanding the behavior of organisms in aquatic ecosystems that are suffering stress from different sources of contamination at acidification conditions
- Provides an integrated approach to address the environmental quality in areas affected by acidification and contamination by other stressors
Marine (coastal and ocean) environmental sciences and freshwater ecologists. Environmental engineers and policy makers
