This book was released on 1996 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rapid population growth in the southeastern coastal zone has had an important influence on both resource management policy at the federal, state, regional, and local levels and the findings of environmental impact studies." These twenty-six papers represent a variety of disciplines and such topics as "policy in its broadest sense, environmental resources, and population trends."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watersaturated soil and sediment ecosystems (i.e. wetlands) are ecologically as well as economically important systems due to their high productivity, their nutrient (re)cycling capacities and their prominent contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. Being on the transition between terrestrial and – aquatic ecosystems, wetlands are buffers for terrestrial run off thereby preventing eutrophication of inland as well as coastal waters. The close proximity of oxic-anoxic conditions, often created by wetland plant roots, facilitates the simultaneous activity of aerobic as well as anaerobic microbial communities. Input of nutrients and fast recycling due to active aerobes and anaerobes makes these systems highly productive and therefore attractive for humans as well as many other organisms. Wetlands globally are under high pressure due to anthropogenic activities as well as climate change. Changes of land-use as well as altered hydrology due to climate change will lead to disturbance and loss of these habitats. However, the diversity and functioning of microbial communities in wetlands systems in highly underexplored in comparison to soils and aquatic ecosystems. Given the importance of wetlands and their immediate threats combined with the lack of knowledge on the microbiology of these systems is the basis for this special issue, focusing on the current microbiological knowledge and gaps therein to be assessed in future wetland research. Papers (research papers, reviews, perspectives, opinion papers) are welcomed that focus on all aspects that regulate the functioning and community composition of microbes (i.e. bacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi) in wetland ecosystems (peat, coastal as well as freshwater marshes, flood plains, rice paddies, littoral zones of lakes etc) from all geographic regions. Welcomed topics are physiology, ecology, functioning, biodiversity, biogeography of microbes involved in nutrient cycling (C, N, P, Fe, Mn), green house gas emissions as well as plant-microbe interactions. These studies can be multidisciplinary and cover topics from the molecular to the community level.

Book excerpt: The principle objective of this book is to review the biological characteristics of estuaries. The volume has been as a text for undergraduates and graduate students as well as reference for scientists conducting research on estuarine systems. And the rapid development of estuarine ecology as a field of scientific inquiry reflects a growing awareness of the immense societal importance of a coastal ecosystem. While the volume of literature on estuaries amassed, scientists deemed it necessary to synthesize the field periodically. Consiquently, several books have been produced in recent years which examine variuous aspects of the disicpline.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southeastern coast of the United States is characterized by shallow estuaries formed from sea level intrusion on low lying plains (Patchineelam et al., 1999). Estuaries are coastal environments subjected to marine, riverine and meteorological processes, such as sediment discharge from rivers, mixing of fresh and salt waters, tidal currents, and wind-generated waves (Lin et al., 2002; Kim and Voulgaris, 2008). All of these processes interact within the estuary and play important roles in sedimentation processes. Previous studies on sedimentation within an estuarine environment do not address the impact of wind generated waves and the combination of waves and currents on estuarine sedimentary processes. This study looks at the current, the wave and the combined wave and current induced bottom shear stress to better determine ability of each process to resuspend sediments throughout an estuary. Evaluation of the estuary's current, wave, and wave and current stress, its spatial distribution and its correlation with sediment remobilization processes can be used to benefit dredging operations for better disposal retention. Furthermore, the determined stress levels can be used as the baseline stress of the estuary and thus help coastal managers identify the effect of human activities, including boating and associated wake-induced energy, in the system. This work presents a methodology for carrying out such an assessment for Winyah Bay, a 29 mile km long, partially mixed estuary located in South Carolina. In-situ data of waves are collected for a period of approximately forty days (March to April 2011), at two locations within the estuary. The two sites exhibit different wave heights in response to the different wind fetch. An unstructured version of the wave propagation numerical model, Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN), is developed for Winyah Bay and it is validated by the in-situ data. The model is run under the typical wind conditions determined by a ten year meteorological analysis. The effect that the wind speed, wind direction and tidal stage have on the current, wave, and wave and current induced bed shear stress and sediment flux is determined. Additionally, the current, wave and the wave and current induced bottom shear stress and sediment flux that occurs monthly, seasonally and annually within the estuary was established. This climatology allows us to identify areas with high and low potential for sediment erosion and accretion.
