Colleagues, what book or article you can recommend on the island ecology?
I was on the Commander Islands, studied biology inland waters. Everywhere shows the influence of the ocean! How independent ecosystem of the islands? The impression is that their productivity is determined by the communities of ocean (anadromous fishes, sea water flow with the tides, etc). Continuous wind contributing to the maintenance of dynamic balance within the ecosystem (mixing of water masses, preventing the development of the processes of decomposition of organic matter and oxygen disappearance).
Where to read about the interaction of island and ocean ecosystems? Learn about the main factors that determine the existence of communities of organisms ocean and sea islands?
