Оценка антропогенно-и природно-обусловленных изменений в береговой зоне Красного моря на основе спутниковой информации в районе между Рас Гемша и Сафага, Египет
Диссертация
На основе спутниковой информации высокого пространственного разрешения, проведена оценка изменений берегового ландшафта и состояния основных экологически значимых компонентов прибрежной экосистемы (коралловые рифы, мангровые заросли, морские травы и масроводоросли). Результаты показывают, что деградация и потери прибрежных сообществ достигли беспрецедентного уровня. Получено, что в период с 1984… Читать ещё >
