Features

Supported by nearly 60 illustrations and tables, Biogeochemistry, Availability, and Transport of Metals in the Environment

  • highlights the atmospheric transport of metals
  • studies the marine biogeochemistry of iron and its impact on the carbon cycle
  • considers the bioavailability of trace metals in freshwater environments and in soils
  • critically discusses the uptake of heavy metals by higher plants, algae, and cyanobacteria
  • covers topics such as arsenic in groundwater, the cycling of antimony, the microbial transformations of radionuclides, and the biogeochemistry of carbonates

  • Summary

    Volume 44, devoted solely to the vital research areas concerning the biogeochemistry of metals and their transport in the environment and availability to living systems, offers 9 timely and authoritative chapters on these fascinating topics by 19 internationally recognized experts.
