Summary

• "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." "This book will be of interest to students in the radioecology, geosciences and biology, environmental engineers, consultants, administrators and scientists interested in the spread, biouptake and ecosystem effects of chemical pollutants in aquatic ecosystems."--BOOK JACKET.
