Trophic Cascades in Coastal Ecosystems
The more we learn about coastal ecosystems, the more important predation and trophic cascades appear for ecosystem integrity. Trophic cascades shape marine food webs, structure coastal habitats, contribute to complex adaptive processes and regime shifts, and even determine properties of the physical environment.Eriksson, Britas Klemens +3 more

Abstract In addition to mangrove forests, five other types of ecosystems are found around the coasts of Sumatra. These are: beach vegetation on accreting coasts (pes-caprae formation), beach vegetation on abrading coasts (Barringtonia formation:), brackishwater forests, rocky shores and coral reefs.

Coastal Ecosystems and Services
2019Coastal areas occupy one of the most dynamic interfaces on Earth, at the boundary between land and sea, and they support some of the most diverse and productive habitats. The physical environment of the coastal region is highly variable within relatively small spatial extent. The interactions between biological component and their surroundings are more

Abstract Coastal areas are very fragile, and sensitive towards change, whether by human activities or because of natural event5. Coastal areas not only include beaches, or mouths of rivers, but may extend far inland, and offshore. Any form of activity inland, such as logging, damming, or erosion upstream, will affect marine ecosystems ...

The coastal forest communities of Kenya exist mainly as isolated blocks which show high levels of species endemism and comprise a total of about 83,800ha in a narrow belt which extends inland for about 30km. The forests are characterized by dense or moderately dense stands of tall trees, species of the genera Sterculia, Chlorophora and Memecylon.

The seas and oceans cover approximately 360 million km2 or about 70% of the Earth’s surface. The ocean basins are interconnected and currents generated by the wind keep the surface waters in continuous circulation (Figure 12.1). Deep water is brought to the surface in zones of upwelling where winds move the surface water away from the continents and ...
