Description for Chemical Biomarkers in Aquatic Ecosystems
Hardback. Looks at the application of chemical biomarkers to aquatic ecosystems. This book describes the structure, biochemical synthesis, analysis, and reactivity of each class of biomarkers. It offers a selection of relevant applications to aquatic systems, including lakes, rivers, estuaries, oceans, and paleoenvironments. Num Pages: 392 pages, 78 halftones. 117 line illus. 26 tables. BIC Classification: PN; PSAF; PSB; RBGK; RBK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 262 x 190 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1020.
This textbook provides a unique and thorough look at the application of chemical biomarkers to aquatic ecosystems. Defining a chemical biomarker as a compound that can be linked to particular sources of organic matter identified in the sediment record, the book indicates that the application of these biomarkers for an understanding of aquatic ecosystems consists of a biogeochemical approach that has been quite successful but underused. This book offers a wide-ranging guide to the broad diversity of these chemical biomarkers, is the first to be structured around the compounds themselves, and examines them in a connected and comprehensive way.
