Description
Aquatic Ecosystems explains the interplay between various movements of matter and energy through ecosystems mediated
by Dissolved Organic Matter. This book provides information on how much DOM there is in a particular aquatic ecosystem and where it originates.
It explains whether the DOM composition varies from time to time and place to place. It also details how DOM becomes incorporated into
microbial food webs, and gives a better, clarifying, understanding to its significance of DOM.
Audience
Aquatic ecologists, freshwater biologists, limnologists, hydrologists, water quality specialists, and graduate students interested in aquatic ecosystems.
