ENVIRONMENTAL BIOGEOCHEMISTRY

In this chapter we will consider the environmental biogeochemical cycles of three elements, which natural biogeochemical turnovers have been altered in the most significant degree. They are nitrogen, mercury, and lead.

Contributions to the ISEB meeting are presented in Oremland (1993). Wuebbles and Hayhoe (2002) reviewed the effects of CH4 on atmospheric chemistry and examined the direct and indirect impact of CH4 on climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published periodic updates (see, e.g., IPCC, 2001).
