Synopsis

Surrounding large areas of the American and European coastlines, intertidal mudflats are integral to the estuary system. This book explores an important biological component of intertidal mudflats: the unicellular algae known as microphytobenthos. Microphytobenthos have a tremendous impact on estuary functioning, and Functioning of Microphytobenthos in Estuaries makes a valuable and interdisciplinary contribution that updates the current body of research.
