Produktbeschreibung

Tidal mixing, the churning of coastal waters by tidal currents, plays a vital role in marine productivity. Tidal Mixing Benefits explores how this process stimulates biological activity and nutrient cycling, particularly the resuspension of sediment-bound nutrients, influencing phytoplankton growth, and ultimately supporting coastal ecosystems.

The book examines the hydrodynamics of tidal mixing, its impact on nutrient availability (such as nitrogen and phosphorus), and the response of phytoplankton communities, highlighting tidal mixing as a primary driver of marine productivity. Because conventional approaches often underestimate the role of physical processes in regulating biological productivity, the book emphasizes incorporating tidal mixing dynamics into marine ecosystem models for more accurate coastal resource management.

The book progresses from establishing a framework for understanding tidal hydrodynamics to detailing the mechanisms by which tidal mixing influences nutrient cycling. It then explores the biological consequences of enhanced nutrient availability, focusing on phytoplankton dynamics and primary production. Case studies from diverse coastal environments illustrate how tidal mixing shapes ecosystem structure and function.

The book concludes with a discussion of the implications for coastal management and conservation, advocating for the protection of areas crucial for marine productivity. This unique perspective is valuable for researchers, students, and environmental professionals in oceanography, ecology, and environmental management.
