Biogeochemistry of Inland Waters
About this book
A derivative of the Encyclopedia of Inland Waters, Biogeochemistry of Inland Waters examines the transformation, flux and cycling of chemical compounds in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, combining aspects of biology, ecology, geology, and chemistry. Because the articles are drawn from an encyclopedia, they are easily accessible to interested members of the public, such as conservationists and environmental decision makers.- This derivative text describes biogeochemical cycles of organic and inorganic elements and compounds in freshwater ecosystems

Notes
Cross-reference terms in italics are general cross-references, or refer to subentry terms within the main entry (the main entry is not repeated to save space). Readers are also advised to refer to the end of each article for additional cross-references - not all of these cross-references have been included in the index cross-references.
The index is arranged in set-out style with a maximum of three levels of heading. Major discussion of a subject is indicated by bold page numbers. Page numbers suffixed by T and F refer to Tables and Figures respectively. vs. indicates a comparison.
This index is in letter-by-letter order, whereby hyphens and spaces within index headings are ignored in the alphabetization. For example, acid rain is alphabetized after acidity, not after acid(s). Prefixes and terms in parentheses are excluded from the initial alphabetization.
Where index subentries and sub-subentries pertaining to a subject have the same page number, they have been listed to indicate the comprehensiveness of the text.
