Book Ecology of the Southern California Bight

Download or read book Ecology of the Southern California Bight written by Murray D. Dailey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a benchmark study of one significant stretch of the Pacific Ocean, the Southern California Bight. Extending from Point Conception to the Mexican border and out to the 200-mile limit, these waters have never before been investigated in such detail, from so many points of view, by such an eminent group of scientists. The twenty-five expert contributors summarize everything known about the physical, chemical, geological, and biological characteristics of the area in individual chapters; the volume concludes with a synthesis of the information presented. In addition, chapters are devoted to the influence of humans on the marine environment and to the various laws and governmental agencies concerned with protecting it. Because Southern California is so heavily populated and because the ocean is a major recreational area for its people, the information in this unique volume will be invaluable for the region's planners and decisionmakers as well as for all those who study the globe's marine resources and ecology.

Book The Literature of the Western Clapper Rails

Download or read book The Literature of the Western Clapper Rails written by Sanford R. Wilbur and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clapper rails (Rallus longirostris) are widely distributed in coastal marshes and river valleys of North and South America and the Caribbean. Seven of the 26 subspecies currently recognized by various authorities occur in the western portions of the United States and Mexico. Three races are classified by both the Department of Fish and Game as "endangered". These subspecies are the California clapper rail, the Light-footd clapper rail, and the Yuma clapper rail. Our investigations of these endangered forms included a review of pertinent literature and an examination of specimen data in selected museum collections. This paper deals with primarily with the endangered forms but also attempts to describe the general relationships of all western clapper rails.

Download or read book Coastal Conservation written by Brooke Maslo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal ecosystems are centres of high biological productivity, but their conservation is often threatened by numerous and complex environmental factors. Citing examples from the major littoral habitats worldwide, such as sandy beaches, salt marshes and mangrove swamps, this text characterises the biodiversity of coastline environments and highlights important aspects of their maintenance and preservation, aided by the analysis of key representative species. Leaders in the field provide reviews of the foremost threats to coastal networks, including the effects of climate change, invasive species and major pollution incidents such as oil spills. Further discussion underscores the intricacies of measuring and managing coastline species in the field, taking into account the difficulties in quantifying biodiversity loss due to indirect cascading effects and trophic skew. Synthesising the current state of species richness with present and projected environmental pressures, the book ultimately establishes a research agenda for implementing and improving conservation practices moving forward.
