Ecological Impacts of Tsunamis on Coastal Ecosystems Lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake
This book focuses on the ecological impacts of the Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting tsunamis, a rare and extremely large disturbance event, on various coastal ecosystems in Japan’s Tohoku area, including sub-tidal and tidal animal communities, sand dune plant communities and coastal forests...
