Salt Marshes

A Natural and Unnatural History

Buch

Now championed as critical habitats for plants, animals, and people because of the environmental service and protection they provide, salt marshes were once considered unproductive wastelands. Salt Marshes, with an emphasis coastal wetlands in the Atlantic and Gulf regions and the San Francisco Bay area, offers readers a wealth of essential information about a variety of flora and fauna, marshes' ecological importance, consequences of human neglect and overdevelopment, and insight into how these wetlands recover.
