Reviews

`This book would seem most appropriate for upper-level undergraduate orgraduate courses. For graduate students or faculty working with mangrove or seagrasses, this is a perfect one-stop source on the "big picture" regarding these systems.'
Craig Layman, Quarterly Review of Biology
`Review from previous edition The book is a well-written, introductory text covering a wide range of topics ... and is the first book that can be realistically used as an undergraduate textbook on the subject.
'
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology
`Hogarth has produced an impressive book on the mangrove ecosystem...I strongly recommend it as an introductory text for naturalists, students, and professional biologists embarking on studies in mangrove environments.'
