Description

Annotation Biogeochemistry is the study of biological controls on the chemistry of the environment and the geochemical regulation of ecological structure and function. This textbook for undergraduate and graduate students presents an introduction to this field, beginning with its historical development. Topics include, for example, the biogeochemical cycling of macroelements and trace elements, the thermodynamics of bacterial energetics, and the calculation of critical loads for heavy metals in various ecosystems.
