Tracing the Sources and Fate of Contaminants in Agroecosystems Applications of Multi-stable Isotopes

However, land management strategies to address and control the transport of pollutants from soil to water bodies remain the shared responsibility of farm and aquaculture operators, agro-chemical manufacturers, and policymakers in food and agriculture as well as the mining sectors. This book is struc...
