This book is a richly illustrated field guide that surveys the geology, environmental history, natural history, and human history of a region that spans the eastern seaboard from Sandy Hook in New Jersey south to Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is organized around environments, not particular locations. Included are the geology of beaches and barrier islands, the environmental history of the region, as well as detailed looks at the natural history of beaches, dunes, maritime forests, coastal marshes, and estuaries. Also covered are issues involving human activity and climate change, which have become dominant forces shaping geophysical and biological environments. This guide will enable users to walk into a salt marsh or onto a beach and identify much of what they see.Coastal plantsAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)IdentificationCoastal ecologyAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)GuidebooksCoastal animalsAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)IdentificationAtlantic Coast (Middle Atlantic States)GuidebooksElectronic books.Coastal plantsCoastal ecologyCoastal animals508.75Lynch Patrick J.627159MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910587580903321A field guide to the Mid-Atlantic coast2907625UNINA
