Nutrient cycles

Abstract

This special issue consists of papers presented at a symposium entitled nutrient cycles: a joy forever, held in May 1993. The papers are: phytoplankton as an increasingly compound photosynthetic system - an historical persepctive; nutrients and limiting factors; zooplankton as a compound mineralising and synthesizing system - phosphorus excretion; the labyrinth of nutrient cycles and buffers in wetlands - results based on research in the Camargue, France; theoretical aspects of the adsorption of ortho-phosphate onto iron hydroxide; and remarks on numerical and analytical methods to calculate diffusion in water/sediment systems. -S.R.Harris
