Sinopsis de Aquatic ecosystems: interactivity of dissolved organic matter

Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) is the major form of carbon in aquatic ecosystems. It is incredibly important in these ecosystems because DOM is in a form that is available for use by all organisms living in water. DOM influences complex food webs by mediating the availability of aquatic nutrients, metals, salts, and minerals. DOM also affects water clarity, which alters the way animals and plants live and feed in water.Importance of Topic.The health and proper functioning of aquatic ecosystems depends on the abundance and composition of DOM. The fluxes and pulses of organic matter influence every aspect of stream ecology, biogeochemistry, and productivity. This book addresses crucial questions emerging from the latest research on DOM. Why This Title Aquatic Ecosystems explains the interplay between various movements of matter and energy through ecosystems mediated by Dissolved Organic Matter. This book provides information...
