Biogeochemical Monitoring in Small Catchments : Refereed Papers from BIOGEOMON, the Symposium on Ecosystem Behaviour - Evaluation of Integrated Monitoring in Small Catchments, Held in Prague, Czech Republic, September 18-20, 1993

This text presents papers from the BIOGEOMON conference, held in Prague, 1993. It also includes long-term studies of nutrient cycling in forested catchments and the effects of anthropogenic action on streamwater chemistry.
