Description

Concentrations of biopolymers in water bodies.  Parameters quantifying the amount of naturally-produced organic (molecules containing carbon) compounds that are built from multiple instances of structural units (monomers) that are covalently-bonded to produce larger structures in any body of salt or fresh water. Includes polynucleotides (RNA and DNA), polypeptides and polysaccharides (e.g. cellulose).
