Opis

Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients limiting the productivity of terrestrial, wetland and aquatic ecosystems. Over the last decade seve ral research projects were conducted on Florida's ecosystems from stat e and federal agencies and private industry to address water quality i ssues, and to develop management practices to control nutrient loads. Phosphorus Biogeochemistry of Sub-Tropical Ecosystems is the first th orough study of the role of phosphorus in ecological health and water quality ever published. Because of its vast and extensively studied ec osystems, Florida has often served as a national laboratory on current and future trends in ecosystem management. The reader will find studi es at all levels of biological organization, from the cellular to enti re ecological communities.

Recenzje

"…is the first thorough study of the role of phosphorous in ecological health and water quality ever published…because of its vast and extensively studied ecosystems…is a definitive study of the role and behavior of phosphorous deposition in the upland, wetland, and aquatic environment."
-Ann McCarley in Environmental Geology
"The presentation quality of the book is first-rate…I'm pleased to have this one on the shelf."
