Nitrogen Cycling in Coastal Marine Environments

About this book

This book responds to concern about marine eutrophication by presenting a number of invited contributions on productivity, regeneration of nutrients and nitrogen flow in pelagic and benthic marine environments. Improvements in methodologies are included and some integrated research studies are included.
