Couverture de l’ouvrage The Ecology and Natural History of Chilean Saltmarshes

This book consolidates the information, results, experience and perspectives of different research groups working on Chilean Saltmarshes. Some aspects of these ecosystems such as their bio-geographical connectivity, flora and faunal components, the interaction between ecosystem components and especially the response of this kind of ecosystems to human and natural perturbations defines the Chilean Saltmarshes as an attractive systems for future studies, focused into test the theoretical and experimental aspects of saltmarshes and general ecology.

Epilogue
José Miguel Fariña holds a PhD in Ecology from Pontificia Universidad Catolica in Chile and was postdoctoral researcher at Brown University, USA and The Charles Darwin Foundation at the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. His main research topic is ecosystem and community ecology of the sea-land interfase from where he has published more than 30 articles on international peer-review magazines. Actually he is an Associated Professor at Pontificia Univiersidad Catolica in Chile and Visiting Scholar at Brown University, USA.

on-operated Escondida Cooper Mine. He collaborated on 24 peer-reviewed scientific papers and has been co-editor on four books. Andrés Camaño is a member of the Chilean Society for Sea Science and is President of the Marine Contamination Group of the National Oceanographic Committee. He is also a professor in various Environment Master Programs and an advisor for the Upper Management Network of Universidad del Desarrollo.

Chilean Saltmarshes are unique and idiosyncratic ecosystems that occur along almost 2000 km over the narrowest continental platform of the South American coast

Due to their unknown uniqueness, these ecosystems should attract researchers to explore and test the generality theoretical and experimental Saltmarsh Ecology

At the present information about Natural History and Ecology of Chilean Saltmarshes is disperse and our book is a serious effort to consolidate this information
