Water use efficiency in plant biology
by Roberts, Jeremy A., Bacon, Mark A.
fromBiological sciences series

Type: Book
"The principles of chemical oceanography provide insight into the processes regulating the marine carbon cycle. These topics are essential to understanding the role of the ocean in regulating the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere and climate on both human and geologic tim…
Organic matter stored in wetlands constitutes a globally significant terrestrial carbon pool interacting with atmospheric carbon via unique ecological processes that release CH4 but take in CO2. Efforts are ongoing to quantify the role of wetlands in terrestrial-atmosphere carbo…

Black carbon (BC) is the highly graphitized byproduct of incomplete combustion that could be a sink for fixed carbon. Little data is currently available for BC concentrations and fluxes to remote marine environments and there are often great discrepancies between model simulatio…
Despite the importance of tropical rivers to the global carbon cycle, the nature of carbon cycling within these watersheds has been dealt with by only a handful of studies. The current work attempts to address this lack of information, using stable isotope and concentration meas…
Increased atmospheric deposition of nitrate and ammonium is a consequence of the anthropogenic creation of reactive nitrogen. The impacts of elevated nitrogen deposition to Earth's temperate forests are of particular interest due to their economic importance and the disproportio…
