Biogeochemistry of Wetlands
Author: K. Ramesh ReddyPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429531931
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 926
Book Description
The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial functions of wetlands are a unique suite of physical, chemical, and biological processes that regulate elemental cycling in soils and the water column. This book provides an in-depth coverage of these wetland biogeochemical processes related to the cycling of macroelements including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, secondary and trace elements, and toxic organic compounds. In this synthesis, the authors combine more than 100 years of experience studying wetlands and biogeochemistry to look inside the black box of elemental transformations in wetland ecosystems. This new edition is updated throughout to include more topics and provide an integrated view of the coupled nature of biogeochemical cycles in wetland systems. The influence of the elemental cycles is discussed at a range of scales in the context of environmental change including climate, sea level rise, and water quality. Frequent examples of key methods and major case studies are also included to help the reader extend the basic theories for application in their own system. Some of the major topics discussed are: Flooded soil and sediment characteristics Aerobic-anaerobic interfaces Redox chemistry in flooded soil and sediment systems Anaerobic microbial metabolism Plant adaptations to reducing conditions Regulators of organic matter decomposition and accretion Major nutrient sources and sinks Greenhouse gas production and emission Elemental flux processes Remediation of contaminated soils and sediments Coupled C-N-P-S processes Consequences of environmental change in wetlands# The book provides the foundation for a basic understanding of key biogeochemical processes and its applications to solve real world problems. It is detailed, but also assists the reader with box inserts, artfully designed diagrams, and summary tables all supported by numerous current references. This book is an excellent resource for senior undergraduates and graduate students studying ecosystem biogeochemistry with a focus in wetlands and aquatic systems.
Water Quality
Author: Claude E. BoydPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030233359
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
This volume is of great importance to humans and other living organisms. The study of water quality draws information from a variety of disciplines including chemistry, biology, mathematics, physics, engineering, and resource management. University training in water quality is often limited to specialized courses in engineering, ecology, and fisheries curricula. This book also offers a basic understanding of water quality to professionals who are not formally trained in the subject. The revised third edition updates and expands the discussion, and incorporates additional figures and illustrative problems. Improvements include a new chapter on basic chemistry, a more comprehensive chapter on hydrology, and an updated chapter on regulations and standards. Because it employs only first-year college-level chemistry and very basic physics, the book is well-suited as the foundation for a general introductory course in water quality. It is equally useful as a guide for self-study and an in-depth resource for general readers.

Phosphorus Requirements in Soils Amended with Organic Materials

ISBN:
Category : Fertilizers
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The addition of organic residues to the soil may modify the amounts of plant available phosphorus (P) found in this ssytem. These studies were undertaken to evaluate the suitability of the sorption isotherm technique for estimating the amounts of inorganic P required for optimum plant growth, the correlation of P availability with the amount of P extracted by three chemical methods, and with the activity of two phosphatase enzymes, when soils were amended with organic materials. Acid phosphatase and phosphodiesterase activities were also compared with the P availability to plants. Soil phosphodiesterase activity correlated better with corn yield and plant uptake than acid phosphatase activity. The correlation of phosphodiesterase activity with microbial activity might be used to indicate the contribution of the soil organic P pool in the P supply to the plant.
