Book Synopsis Mangroves and Halophytes by : Helmut Lieth
Book excerpt: Focusing on Venezuela and Mexico, this edited volume from the International Society of Halophyte Utilisation (ISHU) explores the environmental issues facing South and Central America's coastal ecosystems, and discusses the uses of mangrove species and other halophytes in addressing issues of both coastal pollution and upland soil salinisation. The book presents a series of case studies and examines the economic potential of mangrove restoration and halophyte production.
