Distribution Atlas of Submerged Macrophytes along the German Baltic Sea Coastline

About this book

The Distribution Atlas of Submerged Macrophytes along the German Baltic Sea Coastline is a comprehensive compilation of the marine macrophytes in the German Baltic Sea. It consists of detailed distribution maps and corresponding information on taxonomy, ecology and the current conservational status. Numerous coloured underwater photographs give an impression of the beauty and diversity of the underwater vegetation. The atlas not only evaluates data from current monitoring programmes but also includes historical data and information from grey literature, such as environmental impact assessments, master theses and reports from research projects.
