This work aims to generalize modern ideas of biogeochemical developments in the last few decades, and supplement existing textbooks by providing modern understanding of biogeochemistry, from evolutionary biogeochemistry to practical applications of biogeochemistry.
The burning of biomass - forests, grasslands, and agricultural fields after the harvest - is much more widespread and extensive than previously believed; most biomass burning is thought to be initiated by humans and is on the increase. This comprehensive volume is the first to c…
Presents a timely exploration of research topics in environmental chemistry of lakes and reservoirs. Includes coverage of methodological advances in studies of lake geochemistry; cycling and distribution of major elements in aquatic systems; behavior of trace metals, with an emp…
Using the Earth system approach, Steven M. Stanley shows how the Earth's ecosystem has developed over time, and how events in the past can help us to deal with present and future changes.
Phosphorus is one of the world's vital but relatively scarce resources, which is a limiting factor in plant (and therefore food and fibre) production. This volume brings together data and concepts on the transfers and transformations of phosphorus. Although the phrase "biogeoche…
