Trace Metal Biogeochemistry and Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Systems
This volume synthesizes the relevant data that is fundamental to our understanding of trace metal biogeochemistry and the ecology of biological communities of deep-sea vent systems. It presents the combined results of biological and geochemical research and analyzes the microdistribution of animals...
