This interdisciplinary volume comprehensively reviews recent developments in wetland science and global change. The aim is to identify gaps, problems and successes in the integration of scientific issues into lagoon and coastal wetland management.
The major strength of this volume is that it integrates several fields of research including climatology, hydrology, geomorphology, ecology and biology.
