This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of applications in the environmental and earth sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of diatoms in analysing ecological problems rela... Lees meer.

In the so-called High-Nutrient Low-Chlorophyll HNLC regions there are high amounts of basic nutrients such as carbon nitrate phosphate and silicate but low phytoplankton productivity. Studies have shown that iron Fe is a limiting nutrient and the research in t... Lees meer.

A unique book presenting the range of silica structures formed by diatoms theories and hypotheses of how they are made and applications to nanotechnology by use or imitation of diatom morphogenesis. There are up to 200 000 species of diatoms each species of these alg... Lees meer.

Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic algae which constitute the most important and dominant fraction of marine phytoplankton. They are primary producers forming the basic link in the marine pelagic food chain. They also help mitigate the global warming effect through... Lees meer.

Diatoms are a large and diverse group of single-celled algae. Diatom-based indices are increasingly becoming important tools for assessment of environmental conditions in aquatic systems. Diatoms have long been lauded for their use as powerful and reliable environmental... Lees meer.

The main goal of the book is to demonstrate the wide variety of microscopy methods being used to investigate natural and altered diatom structures. This book on Diatom Microscopy gives an introduction to the wide panoply of microscopy methods being used to investigate d... Lees meer.

DIATOM GLIDING MOTILITY Moving photosynthetic organisms are still a great mystery for biologists and this book summarizes what is known and reports the current understanding and modeling of those complex processes. The book covers a broad range of work describing o... Lees meer.
