Contaminated Urban Soils

by Helmut Meuser ...

Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
With more than 50% of the world’s population already living in towns and cities, migration from rural areas continuing at an alarming rate in developing countries and suburbanisation using more and more land in developed countries, the urban environment has become supremely important with regard to human health and wellbeing. For centuries, urbanisation has caused relatively low level soil conta- ... Read more

The Fertile Earth – Nature's Energies in Agriculture, Soil Fertilisation and Forestry

Volume 3 of Renowned Environmentalist Viktor Schauberger's Eco-Technology Series

by Viktor Schauberger ...

Translated by Callum Coats ...

How does nature work? When one looks closely at the enormously complex web of life, it is impossible not to be caught by the wonder of how all living things – including rocks and crystals – are interconnected. Just as there is thought behind action, so there is energy behind matter. The Fertile Earth, the third volume of the Eco-Technology series which presents the original, passionate and ... Read more

Sedimentology of Shale

Study Guide and Reference Source

by Paul E. Potter, Wayne A. Pryor, J. Barry Maynard ...

Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
We wrote Sedimentology of Shale primarily because we lacked a handy, reasonably comprehensive source of information and ideas about shales for students in our sedimentology program. It was also our feeling that the time for shales to receive more study had finally arrived. Sedimentology of Shale also seems very timely because today more sedimentologists are interested in shales. Certainly in the ... Read more

Arsenic & Rice

by Andrew A. Meharg, Fang-Jie Zhao ...

Rice is the staple food for half of the world’s population. Consumption of rice is the major exposure route globally to the class one, non-threshold carcinogen inorganic arsenic. This book explains the sources of arsenic to paddy soils and the biogeochemical processes and plant physiological attributes of paddy soil-rice ecosystems that lead to high concentrations of arsenic in rice grain.

Rangeland Desertification

Edited by Olafur Arnalds, Steve Archer ...

Series Book 19 - Advances in Vegetation Science
Desertification has occurred worldwide. The biophysical and socio-economic complexity of this phenomenon has challenged our ability to categorize, inventory, monitor and repair the condition of degraded lands. One of the most important distinctions to be made in relation to land degradation is between cultivated land used for annual crop production and `rangelands'. Grazing by free-roaming ... Read more

Carbonate Platform Slopes — A Record of Changing Conditions

The Pliocene of the Bahamas

by Hildegard Westphal ...

Series Book 75 - Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences
Periplatform slope sediments from the Bahamas serve as an example for a small-scale sedimentologic record of environmental changes. Carbonate platforms react sensitively to sea-level fluctuations. Therefore, sediments deposited on the slope during lowstands differ in composition from highstand deposits. A second focus is the early diagenetic alteration and cementation of these sediments with their ... Read more

Water-Conservation Traits to Increase Crop Yields in Water-deficit Environments

Case Studies

Edited by Thomas R. Sinclair ...

Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
This volume explores specific approaches that have shown to result in crop yield increases. Research on the physiological understanding of these methods has led to the development of practical applications of plant breeding approaches to genetically improve crops to achieve higher yields. Authoritative entries from crop scientists shed new light on two water-conservation traits: one that is based ... Read more
