Their role in these ecosystems is no less important than the influence that shallow-water coral reefs have on tropical systems. They create habitat structure, host endemic species, enhance elemental cycling, alter current flow, sequester carbon, and provide many other ecosystem services that we are just beginning to understand. The rapidly evolving state of knowledge of cold-water and deep-sea coral reefs has not been compiled in over 10 years. This volume synthesizes recent and historical information, reveals new findings from reefs that have been discovered only recently, and presents key avenues for future research. We are on the cusp of understanding the critical role that cold-water coral reefs play in the world?s oceans, and this book lays the foundation on which this knowledge will be built in the future. 410 0$aCoral reefs of the world (Springer (Firm)) ;$vVolume 19. 606 $aCoral reefs and islands 606 $aDeep sea corals 606 $aReef ecology 615 0$aCoral reefs and islands. 615 0$aDeep sea corals. 615 0$aReef ecology. 676 $a551.424 702 $aCordes$b Erik 702 $aMienis$b Furu 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799484603321 996 $aCold-Water Coral Reefs of the World$93872748 997 $aUNINA
