Geochemistry of Organic Matter in the Ocean

My work Geochemistry oj organic matter in the ocean first appeared in Russian in 1978. Since then much progress has been made in the exploration of various forms of organic matter in the ocean: dissolved, colloidal, organic matter sus­ pended in particles and that contained in bottom sediments and i...
