Abstract
Transport is a general term, denoting processes which determine the distribution of biogeochemical species or heat in an environmental compartment. In this chapter transport is understood in a narrower sense as interaction of physical processes with an effect on species or components, or on heat. Other processes, which also may be relevant for the environment, like sorption, degradation, decay and reactions of various types, are not conceived as pure transport processes and are treated in chapters below.
