Overview
- Comprehensively introduces readers to N-system microcosms
- Demonstrates how N-system microcosms can be used as a stable and highly reliable method for aquatic ecosystem risk assessment
- Promotes the standardization of the microbial ecosystem, allowing it to be used as model ecosystem testing method for multiple-species testing
