About this book
Reviews previous works and undertakes a comprehensive study of the functioning and evolution of the lagoon ecosystem, including the exchanges at its interface. Draws on research conducted by international interdisciplinary experts over the past 10 years and builds on the UNESCO report on the state of the Venice Lagoon published in 1983.
