In the early 1980s there were several published reports of recent, unexplained increases in mortality of red spruce in the Adirondack Mountains and the northern Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States.
This book covers the sustainability issues of a green environment towards economics and society in terms of alteration in industrial pollution levels, effect of reduced carbon emissions, changes in water bodies characteristics with respect to heavy metal contamination, monitoring of associated impact with respect to ecology and biodiversity, impact of reduced noise levels and air quality influences on human health, handling and management of biomedical waste.
Interactions between Non-Pathogenic Soil Microorganisms and Plants provides a comprehensive discussion of the non-pathogenic microorganisms associated with roots.

Functional Diversity of Mycorrhiza and Sustainable Agriculture is the first book to present the core concepts of working with Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve agricultural crop productivity.
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of sustainable and smart agriculture, as presented by leading researchers at the XII Farm Machinery and Processes Management in Sustainable Agriculture (FMPMSA), held in Lublin, Poland, on June 12-14, 2024.
Soil and water salinity is a major challenge for the agricultural community and policy makers in terms of meeting the burgeoning population's demand for food and other agricultural commodities.
Despite having been published about two years ago for the first time, the continuous demand for this book encouraged me to prepare this revised and enlarged edition.
The success of shifting cultivation systems developed by subsistence farmers testifies to the resilience of the "e;natural"e; soil-plant ecosystems to recover from the offtake of nutrients in crops and loss of soil struc- ture.
This book documents the history of irrigated agriculture and drainage in the San Joaquin Valley, and describes the hydrology and biogeochemical processes of salts and selenium, remediation technologies for salts and trace elements and policy and management options.
This edited volume elucidates state-of-the-art information and provides new paradigms of soil health-based pathways for sustaining plantation crops and diversified systems.
In a world expected to reach a population of almost 10 billion inhabitants by 2050 and facing rapid global warming, it is essential to develop studies to better characterize and preserve the existing environmental heritage.
This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environmental management.
Plant-parasitic and free-living nematodes are increasingly important in relation to food security, quarantine measures, ecology (including pollution studies), and research on host-parasite interactions.
This book provides information about the nontarget nature of selected soil enzymes which are implicated in soil fertility and health and the methods for their assay.
This book introduces the reader to the Great Lakes and considers their soil-forming factors and processes, taxonomic structure of the soils, soil geography and pedodiversity, while also addressing the importance and protection of soils in the Great Lakes Coastal Zone.
