Description
The cool temperate waters of Britain and Ireland are home to an astonishing array of seaweeds, with over 600 different species found in these waters. This second edition of Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland aims to introduce readers to the wonderful marine environment and improve identification of the wealth of seaweeds often overlooked. The book features over 230 species described in detail, accompanied by colour photographs, size, habitat, and distribution maps. New to this edition are over 50 species, with information on how to identify them to species level using microscopic features. Key distinguishing features and areas of identity confusion are also highlighted, making it easier to identify the many different species. A glossary of common and specialised terms is also included to help readers navigate the world of seaweeds.
