Download or read book Pictorial Guide To The Plant and Bird Life of Byram Mangrove Forest Penang written by Asyraf Mansor and published by Penerbit USM. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byram mangrove forest with a land area of 240 ha is considered as a degraded mangrove forest. However, the union of different elements, both man-made and natural – the rubbish dump, effluent ponds, intermittent semi-submerged skeletal trees, a mangrove estuary – somehow works in harmony to attract a number of bird species to such a small area. Famously known to avid bird watcher as the Pulau Burung Landfill Site, this semi-aerobic landfill is located in the Byram mangrove forest. Byram mangrove forest is part and parcel of this unique ecosystem. The Pictorial Guide to the Plant and Bird Life of Byram Mangrove Forest, Penang illustrates photos of plant and bird species thriving within the Byram mangrove. Thus, it is a recommended reading for educators, policy makers, academicians, researchers, students and land managers. Key features include: § more than 100 full-colour photos covering major plumage variation, § accurate and latest text describing the habitat, behaviour and status of birds visiting Byram mangrove forest, and § a magnificent guide that successfully captures the richness and biodiversity of the Byram mangrove, in an accessible form. This work should be considered as a continuity of another collaborative effort between Universiti Sains Malaysia and the Penang State Forestry Department on the mangrove ecosystem, from which a book, namely the Ecological Survey on Mangrove Forests: A Case Study of Balik Pulau and Pantai Acheh was published in 2006 by Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Download or read book Mangrove Ecosystems A Global Biogeographic Perspective written by Victor H. Rivera-Monroy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview and analysis of mangrove ecological processes, structure, and function at the local, biogeographic, and global scales and how these properties interact to provide key ecosystem services to society. The analysis is based on an international collaborative effort that focuses on regions and countries holding the largest mangrove resources and encompasses the major biogeographic and socio-economic settings of mangrove distribution. Given the economic and ecological importance of mangrove wetlands at the global scale, the chapters aim to integrate ecological and socio-economic perspectives on mangrove function and management using a system-level hierarchical analysis framework. The book explores the nexus between mangrove ecology and the capacity for ecosystem services, with an emphasis on thresholds, multiple stressors, and local conditions that determine this capacity. The interdisciplinary approach and illustrative study cases included in the book will provide valuable resources in data, information, and knowledge about the current status of one of the most productive coastal ecosystem in the world.
