Chemical biomarkers in aquatic ecosystems /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This textbook provides a unique and thorough look at the application of chemical biomarkers to aquatic ecosystems. Defining a chemical biomarker as a compound that can be linked to particular sources of organic matter identified in the sediment record, the book indicates that the application of thes...
