商品描述

"Plankton in a Changing World: The Impact of Global Change on Marine Ecosystems" invites readers to explore the microscopic hidden world beneath the waves. This book unravels the fundamental concepts of plankton ecology and their relevance, while exploring the profound impacts of global environmental changes on these vital organisms. Written in a clear and engaging way for the general public, it begins with a foundational overview of plankton, allowing it to stand alone. However, reading "The Wonders of Marine Plankton," from the same author, is encouraged for a deeper understanding of plankton ecology and peculiarities.

Plankton form the very foundation of marine ecosystems. As climate change, pollution, and human activities continue to reshape our world, understanding the intricate dynamics of plankton becomes increasingly crucial. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how these changes influence plankton populations, with far-reaching consequences for marine life and global ecosystems.

Addressing issues such as rising temperatures, ocean acidification, pollution, and overfishing, the book highlights the complex challenges plankton face. Regional perspectives and case studies illustrate varied responses across different climates, showcasing the diverse impacts and adaptive strategies. Through engaging prose and rich scientific insight, "Plankton in a Changing World: The Impact of Global Change on Marine Ecosystems" invites readers to appreciate the delicate balance of our ocean and the pivotal role plankton play in maintaining it.

Concluding with future research directions, it underscores the need for innovative approaches and public awareness to safeguard these essential organisms. "Plankton in a Changing World: The Impact of Global Change on Marine Ecosystems" is an essential read for those interested in marine life and environmental science. Discover how tiny organisms can have a colossal impact and why their survival is intertwined with the future of our world.

《變遷中的浮游生物：全球變遷對海洋生態系統的影響》邀請讀者探索波浪下隱藏的微觀世界。本書揭示了浮游生物生態學的基本概念及其相關性，同時探討全球環境變化對這些重要生物的深遠影響。書中以清晰且引人入勝的方式撰寫，適合一般讀者，首先提供了浮游生物的基礎概述，使其能夠獨立成書。然而，建議讀者閱讀同一作者的《海洋浮游生物的奇觀》，以更深入了解浮游生物生態學及其特性。

浮游生物是海洋生態系統的基礎。隨著氣候變遷、污染和人類活動持續重塑我們的世界，理解浮游生物的複雜動態變得愈加重要。本書全面探討這些變化如何影響浮游生物的族群，並對海洋生物和全球生態系統產生深遠的影響。

本書針對上升的氣溫、海洋酸化、污染和過度捕撈等問題，突顯了浮游生物所面臨的複雜挑戰。區域性觀點和案例研究展示了不同氣候下的多樣反應，展現了各種影響和適應策略。透過引人入勝的文筆和豐富的科學見解，《變遷中的浮游生物：全球變遷對海洋生態系統的影響》邀請讀者欣賞我們海洋的微妙平衡以及浮游生物在維持這一平衡中所扮演的關鍵角色。

最後，本書以未來研究方向作結，強調需要創新的方法和公眾意識，以保護這些重要的生物。《變遷中的浮游生物：全球變遷對海洋生態系統的影響》是對海洋生物和環境科學感興趣的讀者必讀之作。發現這些微小生物如何對我們的世界產生巨大影響，以及為何它們的生存與我們未來息息相關。
