Photoinduced and Microbial Degradation of Dissolved Organic Matter in Natural Waters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Photobiogeochemistry of Organic Matter

Abstract

Solar radiation is a universal and regular phenomenon in biosphere that is vital for all life in the Earth’s crust. It maintains all the physical, chemical and biological processes of organic matter and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters. 

Note that ‘Photoinduced and photolytically’ has been used instead of “photochemical and photochemically” in this book.
