Written by 15 internationally recognized experts contains more than 50 illustrations, as well as more than 1300
references for further research on the subject
- critically highlights the biogeochemistry of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus
- examines the interrelations between the availability of iron, phytoplankton growth, and the carbon cycle
- offers a chapter devoted to cadmium, a highly toxic element which is at the same time also a micronutrient
for phytoplankton
- considers the biogeochemical cycling of mercury and lead
Metal Ions in Biological Systems is devoted to increasing our understanding of the relationship between the chemistry
of metals and life processes. The volumes reflect the interdisciplinary nature of bioinorganic chemistry and coordinate
the efforts of researchers in the fields of biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, environmental
chemistry, biophysics, pharmacy, and medicine.
Volume 43 focuses on the vibrant research area concerning the cycling of elements, metals and non-metals, in
biology and geology; in 10 chapters this book offers an authoritative and timely account on this fascinating subject.
