Elucidating the environmental impact of pollutants and the role freshwater and coastal wetlands play in global climate change, Biogeochemistry of Wetlands is the first source to focus entirely on the chemical and biological cycling of nutrients, trace elements, and toxic organic compounds in wetland environments. It covers electrochemistry, biochemical processes, and transformation mechanisms for naturally occurring and toxic compounds. Topics also include redox-pH conditions, wetland plant adaptation, and microbial-mediated processes. Case studies present findings from biogeochemical research conducted on freshwater (Florida Everglades) and coastal wetlands (Mississippi Delta).
