In the past 10 years, there has been a resurgence in interest in soil management and conservation of the soil resource.

Advances in Soil Science was conceived in 1982 to provide a forum for leading international scientists to analyze and summarize the available scientific information on a subject, assessing its importance and ident- ifying additional research needs.

Soil degradation is clearly one of the most pressing problems facing man- kind.

Over the past decade there has been considerable interest in the effects of atmospheric deposition on forest ecosystems.

Heliothis ("e;Bull worm"e;) species are one of the major pests of field crops worldwide, including sorghum, tomatoes, lettuce, and cotton.

The study of soils has taken on increased importance because a rapidly expanding population is placing demands on the soil never before experi- enced.

This book addresses basic questions concerning the ecological relationships and current conditions of the major river systems in Florida .

Soil is formed from the physical and chemical weathering of rocks-processes described historically becau'se they involve eons of time-by glaciation and by wind and water transport of soil materials, which are later deposited in deltas and loessial planes.

Landscape Ecology is an emerging science of gaining momentum over the past few decades in the scientific as well as in the planning-management worlds.

Since the 1950s, the pines native to the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California have shown symptoms of decline that have proven to result from exposure to ozone, a major plant-damaging gas in photochemical oxidant air pollution.

Biological invasion of native plant communities is a high-priority problem in the field of environmental management.

The public's attitude toward air pollution in the United States evolved substantially during the 1960s.

In the Global Change Research Act of 1990, "e;global change"e; is defined as "e;changes in the global environment (including alterations in climate, land productivity, oceans or other water resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems) that may alter the capacity of the Earth to sustain life.

Written with investigative vigour, provocative and controversial but always accessible, Eating is a hard-hitting exploration of our eating habits, making us look at what we eat as a moral issue.
