- Provides a thorough, up-to-date survey of new techniques and
ways of interpreting patterns in this rapidly developing
field
- Looks at a variety of techniques used to follow whole ecosystem
element cycling, understand processes of soil organic matter
formation, follow the movement of water in whole watersheds,
understand the effects of pollution in both terrestrial and aquatic
environments, study extreme systems such as hydrothermal vents, and
