This book describes the structure and dynamics of particles in both marine and freshwater environments. It covers all types of aquatic habitats from small streams to oceans and addresses the origin, structure, sampling, and fate of particulate matter in aquatic systems. The overall aim of this volume is to integrate the discoveries of a wide range of research workers and present them in the context of the biology of ecosystems. This comprehensive work brings together data for use in both fundamental and strategic research in marine, estuarine, and freshwater systems. Many specialists who study the functioning of aquatic systems will find this text to be an indispensable resource. This volume is also academically worthwhile and of particular interest to all oceanographers, hydrologists, sedimentologists, and physical and biological scientists.
