Coral Reef Marine Plants of Hainan Island summarizes the literature on the role and use of marine plants in coral reef ecosystems, especially in China and countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. The first chapter of the book focuses on the description of coral reef ecosystems, their architecture, and status of Hainan coral reefs. The second chapter focuses on common knowledge surrounding marine plants, such as their classification, identifying characteristics of different phyla, morphology, reproduction, life forms, main algal communities on coral reefs, distribution of algae on coral reefs and their roles, and the use of seaweeds in cookery, medicine, industry, and agriculture.
The third chapter on the seaweed flora of Hainan Island contains species composition of the marine benthic flora, the complete list of marine plants found by researchers from all studies, and historical changes in the flora and seasonal changes. The final chapter shows how to identify common species of marine plants on coral reefs of Hainan Island.
This excellent work will help readers identify relevant plants, also teaching them how to use plant resources to assess endangered states and create conservation strategies.

Graduates and researchers in plant science and marine science, marine biology, oceanography and environmental science. This book also can be used as reference titles for biology students, teachers, nature lovers, amateur naturalists, conservation workers.
She is scientific researcher of the Laboratory of the Physiology of Marine Autotrophic Organisms, A.V. Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. And she is interested in Taxonomy of marine algae and seaweeds of the tropical and subtropical zones.
She is currently leading a research group on coral reef ecology and coral taxonomy with ten faculty members and six graduate students.
Her recent research work focuses on (1) coral taxonomy; (2)status and species distribution of coral reef and coral communities in China’s coastal and oceanic waters, and in particular the taxonomy of stony corals and gorgonian; (3) health status and evaluation on coral reef and coral communities in China, especially the degradation process under local sediment/eutrophication stress and global change ambience; (4) conservation and management strategy of coral reef ecosystem and marine biodiversity.
