Murchie (Eds.), Photosynthesis in Action: Harvesting Light, Generating Electrons, Fixing Carbon (103-132). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-823781-6.00011-3

Chloroplast CO2 assimilation rate is highly sensitive to environmental changes, and this has a great influence on productivity. Changes in temperature, light, humidity, nutrients, and salinity can all affect processes that limit photosynthesis. In th...

The southern Red Sea coast is the location of more than 4,200 archaeological shell midden sites. These shell middens preserve archaeological and climatic archives of unprecedented resolution and scale. By using shells from these contexts, it is possi...

Extraction and Characterization of Pore Water in Contaminated Soils (2017)
Book Chapter
Di Bonito, M., Breward, N., Crout, N., Smith, B., Young, S., & Zhang, H. (2018). Extraction and Characterization of Pore Water in Contaminated Soils. In Environmental Geochemistry: Site Characterization, Data Analysis and Case Histories (195-235). (2nd). Amsterdam, Netherlands: Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-444-63763-5.00011-2

Chemical elements that are either present naturally in the soil or introduced by pollution are more usefully estimated in terms of "availability" of the element, since it is this property that can be related to mobility and uptake by plants. A good e... Read More about Extraction and Characterization of Pore Water in Contaminated Soils.
