These marine beds occur worldwide, from the tropics to the poles, ranging in depth from intertidal to deep subtidal habitats and they are also represented in extensive fossil deposits. In the light of international interest in rhodoliths and maerl concerning their role in coastal ecosystems and with respect to biodiversity, fisheries, and the production of sediment, this book provides the most comprehensive view possible. As readers will discover, rhodoliths/maerl are fundamental to a range of ecological processes, acting as ecosystem engineers including playing key roles in recruitment and providing nursery habitats. Rhodoliths/maerl have been used commercially in some parts of the world, and they are understood to be vulnerable to coastal modifications and human-induced change, and hence their status may serve as an indicator of ecosystem health. Rhodoliths/maerl contribute to global carbon budgets although the extent remains to be evaluated, as do the potential impacts of changing global climates and ocean acidification. 410 0$aCoastal Research Library,$x2211-0577 ;$v15 606 $aCoasts 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aGeobiology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aAquatic ecology 606 $aCoastal Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35020 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 606 $aBiogeosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35010 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 615 0$aCoasts. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aGeobiology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aAquatic ecology. 615 14$aCoastal Sciences. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aBiogeosciences. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 676 $a589.41 702 $aRiosmena-Rodríguez$b Rafael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNelson$b Wendy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAguirre$b Julio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254014703321 996 $aRhodolith$92515804 997 $aUNINA
