From the reviews: "This book is essential reading to anyone interested in lake nutrient dynamics, or in the palaeoenvironmental interpretation of sediment chemistry. ... I can recommend this book as a useful text for anyone with an interest in general palaeolimnology, providing a thorough review of current practical knowledge about nutrient dynamics in lakes, and how this ties in with sediment composition. It is also valuable reading to anyone starting out to study lake sediment chemistry ... ." (John Boyle, Journal of Paleolimnology, Vol. 38, 2007)

• Nature and properties of sediment.- Chemical composition of freshwater.- Sediment and the phosphate cycle.- Sediment and the phosphate cycle.- Sediment and the nitrogen cycle.- Methodological aspects.
