Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter
By: Hansell, Dennis A.; Carlson, Craig A.
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
Interest in marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is very high because it plays an important role in oceanic and global carbon cycling, which in turn impacts weather. Understanding the processes involved in the transformations of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and other major elements in the oceans has been a primary goal of marine biogeochemists and oceanographers over the past decade. This book, in 16 chapters with over 170 figures and tables, reports on the major advances in this area by a distinguished group of international chemical and biological oceanographers. Additionally, it focuses on the role of DOM in elemental cycling - where the greatest informational need currently exists.

The Biogeochemistry of Submerged Soils
By: Kirk, Guy
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (UK)
Submerged soils and the wetlands they support are of huge practical importance: in global element cycles, as centres of biodiversity, in global food production. They are also uniquely interesting scientifically because of their peculiar biogeochemistry and the adaptations of plants and microbes to it.This book describes the physical, chemical and biological processes operating in submerged soils and governing their properties. It describes the transport processes controlling the fluxes of gases and solutes through the soil; the interchange of solutes between solid, liquid and gas phases; reduction and oxidation processes; biological processes in the soil and overlying water; and processes in the roots and rhizospheres of wetland plants. The dynamics of nutrients, toxins, pollutants and trace gases are then discussed in terms of these processes and in relation to wetland productivity and global element cycles.Written by a renowned expert in the field, this work will be invaluable to earth, environmental and agricultural scientists concerned with natural or man-made wetlands, and to advanced undergraduate and graduate studen ts of these topics.

Biological Diversity and Function in Soils
By: Bardgett, Richard; Usher, Michael; Hopkins, David; Webb, Nigel; Jones, T. Hefin; Brown, James H.; Hobbs, Richard; Vet, Louise
Published by: Cambridge University Press
A better understanding of the dynamic roles of soils in ecosystems has followed advances in techniques for identifying and characterising the organisms and the community, at the same time as measuring major ecosystem processes. This book brings together and synthesises this material and puts soils in their wider ecological context.

Biotic Interactions in the Tropics
By: Burslem, David; Pinard, Michelle; Hartley, Sue; Webb, Nigel; Jones, T. Hefin; Brown, James H.; Hobbs, Richard; Vet, Louise
Published by: Cambridge University Press
To understand how tropical ecosystems work we need to appreciate how the organisms within them interact with each other. This volume synthesises the current state of knowledge in this area, providing reviews or case studies from both Old and New World tropics and dealing with taxa at all trophic levels.
