Description

A comprehensive and critical geochemical overview of the nature and functions of humic substances in such diverse environments as soil, peat, groundwater, salt and fresh water. Shows how to isolate humic substances from their environments and analyze their organic components. Individual chapters are extensively cross referenced and extensive documentation and literature references are provided.
