sources, sinks and global change processes
NATO Advanced Research Workshop "The Microbiology of Atmospheric Trace Gases: Sources, Sinks and Global Change Processes" (1995 : Il Ciocco, Italy)
1 online resource (x, 306 pages) : illustrations.
This book presents a state-of-the-art analysis of the microbiology of the trace gases that affect climate and environmental quality. The microbiological sources and sinks of methane, nitrogen oxides, sulfur gases, halocarbons and other trace gases are reviewed and current work described. Techniques for the detection and analysis of gases and the bacteria that produce and metabolize them are presented. The book is a compilation of chapters prepared by leading authorities in their fields, covering the whole range of trace gas microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics. The impact and role of human activities on gas sources and sinks are also identified.
