Saltmarsh (British Wildlife Collection) Hardcover
Clive Chatters delves into the fascinating world of saltmarshes in this volume of the British Wildlife Collection.
Saltmarshes, often enigmatic and remote, occupy a unique space between land and sea. Chatters’ exploration of these habitats reveals their ecological, biological, geological, and historical significance. From Tadpole Shrimps to rare sedges, from waders to Wild Celery, and even inland saltmarshes, Chatters showcases the remarkable biodiversity of these landscapes. Renowned naturalist and writer Brett Westwood hails this work as a compelling celebration of saltmarshes’ complexity.
This book not only explores their past and development but also highlights their multifaceted roles, including providing habitat for migratory birds, supporting endemic plants, and serving as a vital defense against flooding and a reservoir for carbon sequestration. Saltmarshes, as Chatters beautifully illustrates, have left an indelible mark on art and human history and continue to captivate with their natural wonders.
