Mediterranean Ecosystems

Structures and Processes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume reflects the present state of the study of the Mediterranean as carried out by the Italian scientific community. The multidisciplinary character of the papers creates different "transversal" reading and clustering possibilities that the informed reader is free to design and undertake autonomously.
