In the time since the book first appeared, there has been tremendous growth in the field with unprecedented discoveries over the past decade that have fundamentally changed the view of the marine nitrogen cycle. As a result, this Second Edition contains twice the amount of information that the first edition contained. This updated edition is now available online, offering searchability and instant, multi-user access to this important information.
*The classic text, fully updated to reflect the rapid pace of discovery
*Provides researchers and students in oceanography, chemistry, and marine ecology an understanding of the marine nitrogen cycle
*Available online with easy access and search - the information you need, when you need it
