This book explores the influence of the Mississippi River drainage system on the Northern Gulf of Mexico between Mobile Bay, Alabama, and Sabine Pass, Texas. Through geological time, this coastline has ranged from 250 miles offshore to North Louisiana. The present coastline consists of numerous barrier islands, bays and the most extensive saline, brackish, intermediate, and fresh marsh communities in the United States. It is currently eroding because of a lack of sediment input, subsidence, and numerous dredged canals. However, as noted here, efforts to remediate the coastline are expensive…
This book explores the Mississippi River’s influence on the Northern Gulf of Mexico. This highly productive coastal region, home to the most extensive marsh communities in the US, is eroding and stressed by excess nutrients and the Macondo oil leak as remediation is problematic.

Emerging Concepts in Bacterial Biofilms
Molecular Mechanisms and Control Strategies
The ability to form biofilms is a universal attribute of bacteria. Bacteria are able to grow on almost every surface, forming these architecturally complex communities. In biofilms, the cells grow in multicellular aggregates, encased in an extracellular matrix produced by the bacteria themselves. They impact humans in many ways, and can form in natural, medical and industrial settings. For example, the formation of biofilms on medical devices such as catheters or implants often results in difficult-to-treat chronic infections. This book focuses on emerging concepts in bacterial biofilm research, such as…

The Ecology of Coral Reefs
Their Nature and Abundance
Coral reefs represent a unique ecological phenomenon, which is taking place through many hundred millions years of the geological history of our planet. They keep their ecological stability, despite the radical evolutionary changes of all terrestrial biota. In human life, reefs play an important role in connection with their protective role in the preservation of sea coasts from storms and hurricanes, and provide high-grade albuminous food to men. They represent a unique visual phenomenon, rich in colors and various forms, and are often connected with deposits of gold, diamonds, oil,…
This lavishly illustrated book explores coral reefs, unique ecosystems rich in color and life. It provides an introduction to the nature and ecology of reef communities, and demonstrates the unfortunate fact that they are endangered by human activity and climate change.
