Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
A concise reference on the structural composition and function of microbial communities in coastal environments, especially in relation to natural and anthropogenic impacts.
Microbial Communities in Coastal Sediments presents twenty years of coastal microbiology research, grounding it as a vital development in the field of microbial ecology. It is the first book to focus exclusively on the complex microbial ecology and its function in rest of the marine environment. The book outlines the structure, function, and assessment of microbial communities in marine sediments while exploring practical methods of assessment. It is an invaluable resource to aquatic microbiologists, marine ecologists, marine microbiologists, aquatic researchers, and graduate students in this field.
Microbial Communities in Coastal Sediments begins with an examination of nutrient sources in the coastal context with a focus on organic matter inputs. The quantity and quality of organic matter in coastal sediments and their impacts on the composition and formation of microbial communities is discussed. The book explores the consequences of anthropogenic changes and human activity on microbial ecology and nutrient cycling. Sections on nutrient availability, green house gas production and biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants provide essential details. Molecular research techniques and methods for assessing microbial community structure and function in coastal sediments are also covered.
MoreTable of Contents:
1. Source and composition of organic matter and its role in designing sediment microbial communities2. Sources, types, and effects of nutrients (N and P) in coastal sediments3. Environmental variables and factors regulating microbial structure and functions4. Biogeocycling of nutrients (C, N, P, S, Fe) and implications on greenhouse gas emissions5. Biodegradation and biotransformation of persistent organic pollutants by microbes in coastal sediments6. Assessment of microbial structure and functions in coastal sediments
