Biogeochemistry of Blue, Snow, and Ross' Geese

Postulating a newtechniquefeather mineral pattern analysisfor determin­ing the geographic origins and distribu­tions of wild goose populations, this book makes a unique contribution to wildlife research and management. Of special interest are the authors' efforts to relate feather mineral concen­trations to the physical and chemical translocations of mineral elements from the rock substrates of the various breed­ing grounds of wild geese, to the soils and the parts of the ecosystems in which they live, to their final deposition in feather keratin.Hanson, Harold C. is the author of 'Biogeochemistry of Blue, Snow, and Ross' Geese' with ISBN 9780809307517 and ISBN 0809307510.
