Features: This book primarily discusses the basic processes of the biogeochemical cycling of chemicals in bio-abiotic composite systems, as well as the theories and methods for macro and micro regulation at various global levels. The main contents include: the discipline and categorization of environmental biogeochemistry, principles and methods, and the modes and characteristics of biogeochemical cycling; the biogeochemical cycling and regulation of water, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, hydrogen, silicon, selenium, mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, radioactive isotopes, and organic pollutants; the coupling relationship between biogeochemical cycling and global environmental change, the ecological effects of global environmental change, and the applications of environmental biogeochemistry; it also proposes the new concept of "global ecological engineering" along with some specific ideas.
