There is also a  growing interest in global climate fluctuations. This, and the need  for a precise assessment of the dynamics of carbon and other  bio-elements, has led to a demand for an improved understanding of  biogeochemical processes and the chemical characteristics of both  particulate and dissolved organic matter in the ocean. \u003cbr\u003e  A large amount of proxy data has been published describing the changes  of the oceanic environment, but qualitative and quantitative estimates  of the vertical flux of (proxy) organic compounds have not been well  documented. There is thus an urgent need to pursue this line of study  and, to this end, this book starts with several papers dealing with  the primary production of organic matter in the upper ocean.  Thereafter, the book goes on to follow the flux and characterization  of particulate organic matter, discussed in relation to the primary  production in the euphotic zone and resuspension in the deep waters,  including the vertical flux of proxy organic compounds. It goes on to  explain the decomposition and transformation of organic matter in the  ocean environment due to photochemical and biological agents, and the  reactivity of bulk and specific organic compounds, including the  air-sea interaction of biogenic gases. \u003cbr\u003e  The 22 papers in the book reflect the interests of JGOFS and will thus  serve as a valuable reference source for future biogeochemical  investigations of both bio-elements and organic matter in seawater,  clarifying the role of the ocean in global climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792362937\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1319-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 562\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265599950988,"sku":"9780792362937","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792362937.jpg?v=1770785456","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792362937","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
