Sulphur cycling on the continents: wetlands, terrestrial ecosystems, and associated waterbodies

Abstract

Reviews and synthesizes information on the processes that govern the cycling of sulphur in the various ecosystems of the continents and, whevever possible, chapters review information both on rates of sulphur cycle processes and on the controls of these processes. Chapters cover the following aspects of the sulphur cycle: an overview of the atmospheric cycle; exchange between biosphere and atmosphere over temperate and tropical regions; interactions with other element cycles in ecosystems; cycling in marine and freshwater wetlands; overview of its environmental chemistry in wetland systems; fluxes in dimictic lakes; interaction with carbon and oxygen cycles in continental and marginal seas; dynamics in forest ecosystems; upland agricultural systems; and cycling in rice wetlands. Individual chapters are abstracted separately in Ecological Abstracts and Geographical Abstracts: Physical Geography. -R.Gower
