Estuaries, the intersection of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, exhibit complex physical and biological processes which must be understood in order to sustain and restore them when necessary. 606 $aEcohydrology 606 $aEstuarine ecology 615 0$aEcohydrology. 615 0$aEstuarine ecology. 676 $a577.786 700 $aWolanski$b Eric$01521837 702 $aElliott$b Michael 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797577803321 996 $aEstuarine ecohydrology$93761257 997 $aUNINA
