The generality and predictive power of our models  have increased in a way that was inconceivable 10 years ago. This book  describes a new generation of practically useful models that predict  as well as one can measure - if one measures well. And yet,  they are driven by readily available driving variables and have a  general structure that applies to most types of pollutants in aquatic  systems. The major reason for this development is, in fact, the  Chernobyl accident. Large quantities of radiocesium were released in  April\/May 1986 as a pulse. To follow the pulse of radiocesium through  ecosystem pathways has meant that important fluxes and mechanisms,  i.e., ecosystem structures, have been revealed. It is important to  stress that many of these new structures and equations are valid not  just for radiocesium, but for most types of contaminants, e.g. for  metals, nutrients and organics. This means that the models, methods  (of building and testing models) and equations described in this book  for lakes and coastal areas should be of great interest also to other  ecosystem modellers. \u003cbr\u003e  This book will be of considerable interest to: students in  radioecology, geosciences and biology; environmental engineers;  consultants; administrators and scientists interested in the spread,  biouptake and ecosystem effects of chemical pollutants in aquatic  ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-10-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401738576\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/0-306-46878-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 216\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542677549196,"sku":"9789401738576","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401738576.jpg?v=1770821843","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401738576","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
