Coral reef science : strategy for ecosystem symbiosis and coexistence with humans under multiple stresses / [edited by] Hajime Kayanne.

Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Coral reefs of the world ; v 5.Publication details: Japan : Springer, 2016.Description: ix, 101 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cmISBN:
  • 9784431543633
Subject(s): DDC classification:

Contents:
1. Life history and stress response of Scleractinian corals -- 2. Chemical-biological characteristics of coral reef ecosystem at micro/nano scale: effect of multiple and synergistic stresses -- 3. Coupling remote sensing and coral annual band data to investigate the history of catchment land use and coral reef status -- 4. a review of coral studies of the Ryukyu Island arc to reconstruct its long-term landscape history -- 5. Producing plaster: traditional uses and knowledge of coral on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa -- 6. Possible articulations between the practices of local inhabitants and academic outcomes of landscape history: ecotourism on Ishigaki Island -- 7. Response of coral reefs to global warming -- 8. Atmospheric deposition of reactive nitrogen as a regional-scale eutrophication stress on the coral reef ecosystem.
Summary: This book aims to illuminate coral reefs which comprise a symbiotic system coexisting among ecosystems, landforms, and humans at various levels and to provide a scientific basis for its reconstruction. The authors conducted an interdisciplinary project called "Coral Reef Science" from 2008 to 2012 and obtained novel results and clues to unite different disciplines for a coral reef as a key ecosystem.
