The Venice Lagoon Ecosystem: Inputs and Interactions Between Land and Sea
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is a timely, one-of-a-kind scientific reference text covering the latest research on the flooding and biological damage from pollution and dredging to Venice, the UNESCO World Heritage site and subject of intense study by experts from many fields. It draws on international interdisciplinary research over the past 10 years and builds on the UNESCO report on the state of the Venice Lagoon published in 1983. The book is a key multidisciplinary and synthesizing contribution to understanding the complex interactions between man-induced perturbations and natural biological phenomena so as to better understand their reciprocal effects. Its five main sections are: introduction; pelagic studies; benthic studies; biological effects of environmental pollution; and modelling. The volume includes bibliographic references and index.
