The Ecology of Cyanobacteria Their Diversity in Time and Space

The Ecology of Cyanobacteria Their Diversity in Time and Space / edited by B.A. Whitton, M. Potts.

Cyanobacteria make a major contribution to world photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation, but are also notorious for causing nuisances such as dense and often toxic ̀blooms' in lakes and the ocean. The Ecology of Cyanobacteria: Their Diversity in Time and Space is the first book to focus solely on...
