The orgins of dissolved organic substances are largely  photosynthetic; DOM is either autochthonously synthesized by littoral  and pelagic flora through secretions and autolysis of cellular  contents, or allochthonously generated in terrestrial systems of the  drainage basin, composing largely of humic substances refractory to  rapid microbial degradation. The role of DOM in lacustrine ecosystems,  as energy source and system regulator, however, is still poorly known.  \u003cbr\u003e  The aim of this book is: (1) to present state-of-the-art reviews of  the role of dissolved autochthonous and allochthonous organic matter  in pelagial and littoral zones; and (2) to focus attention on poorly  understood but critical topics and hence to provide direction for  future research activity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401050920\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2474-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260cm x195cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 291\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398563557516,"sku":"9789401050920","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401050920.jpg?v=1755437523","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401050920","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
