This comprehensive book presents a novel ecological perspective on mangrove and salt marsh ecosystems, offering a fresh understanding of these unique environments. Brazil boasts one of the world's largest expanses of mangroves, where salt marshes may or may not coexist alongside them. Spanning its vast coastline, the book explores the diverse landscapes and the composition of mangrove and salt marsh species through the analysis of physiography, zoning, and succession processes. It delves into the ecophysiological and phenological characteristics of both salt marsh and mangrove plants, as well as their genetic and epigenetic diversity. The chapters on microbial diversity and litterfall shed light on the renowned importance of these ecosystems as highly productive carbon sinks and pumps. Additionally, a special section highlights the associated fauna, encompassing invertebrates (benthic meio and macrofaunas, particularly brachyuran crabs) and vertebrates (fishes, birds, and mammals). The book's conservation approach encompasses a wide range of issues, including historical ecology, economic valuation, protected areas, environmental education, climate changes, and adaptive management. By providing a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, this text serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and conservationists seeking to better understand and protect these vital ecosystems.
