Alongi, Daniel M.
This will be a useful reference book, particularly because of the inclusion of the tropical literature. It would be very appropriate as a textbook for graduate marine ecology courses, particularly ones that focus on comparative ecology. --Jane M. Caffrey, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 75, No. 2 ...a balanced approach to the topic...appropriate as a reference for marine ecologists and as a text for advanced courses in coastal ecology. --C. E. Tanner, St. Mary's College of Maryland There is an enormous amount of information in the book and Alongi has done an excellent job bringing together the recent literature. -Ecological Engineering, Vol. 16, 2001
