Seaweed Ecology and Physiology / by Christopher S. Lobban and Paul J. Harrison
By: Lobban, Christopher S.
Contributor(s): Harrison, Paul J [joint author].
Material type:
TextPublisher: Cambridge University Press , 2009ISBN: 9780511626210.Subject(s): Plant Sciences, Ecology and Conservation, Life SciencesOnline resources: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511626210 Summary: A rewritten and re-organised edition of The Physiological Ecology of Seaweeds (1985). Seaweed Ecology and Physiology surveys the broad literature, but it is not merely an update of the earlier book. This book contains an introductory chapter reviewing seaweed morphology, cytology, and life histories. The chapter on community level ecology now includes six guest essays by senior algal ecologists which conveys the excitement of phycological research. The treatment of tropical seaweeds had been expanded, reflecting the growing literature from tropical regions, and the authors' experiences in the tropics. The final chapter on mariculture is much larger, and includes a case study on how principles of physiological ecology were applied in developing the carrageenan industry. Finally there is an appendix summarising the taxonomic position and nomenclature of the species mentioned in the book.
