Overview

This text presents the latest information on particulate and dissolved matter found in aquatic habitats, ranging from small streams to large oceans. By studying this matter, an understanding of the functioning of aquatic ecosystems can be gained, and changes that may occur as these systems become stressed can be predicted.
