The Biology and Ecology of Giant Kelp Forests

"The Biology and Ecology of Giant Kelp Forests will be the seminal work on kelp forest ecosystems. It greatly updates the authors' earlier synthesis on the topic, not only bringing their work up to date but also providing a fresh look at how kelp forests 'work' in different parts of the world." --John Pearse, Professor Emeritus, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz "The broad and deep treatment of the subject makes this book an important contribution to kelp forest ecology and marine ecology in general. This book will have a lasting impact as a desk reference and textbook for students, researchers, and coastal managers." --Michael Graham, Professor, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and coeditor of the Journal of Phycology "The authors' scholarship is evident in their thorough review of over 800 publications, which provides the most up-to-date insights into the biology, ecology, and human use of giant kelp forests. There is simply nothing else like it." >
