The first synthesis of current research regarding Everglades microbial community
structure and function, this book provides an understanding of the physical and
chemical factors affecting the structure of microbial communities, including
nutrient effects, sea level rise, and other potential stressors. The book
integrates traditional research on algal and bacterial structure and function,
helping to provide a more holistic understanding of the varying microbial
communities throughout the Everglades. From periphyton, to soils and detritus,
to flocculent organic matter, Microbiology of the Everglades Ecosystem covers
new and emerging methods and their global application.
