Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume consists of background papers and discussion group reports focused on defining the interdisciplinary research frontiers of the chemistry of the earth's humic substances and their role in environmental processes. Contributors to this work include soil scientists, lignin chemists, analytical chemists, water chemists and marine scientists, each of whom have made important independent advances in the last few years.
