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. This goal
seems even more appropriate today. Much is known about our soil
resources. The principles learned and the technology developed need
to be used to increase food pro duction, particularly in developing
countries, and sustain the productivity of the resource base.
Advances in Soil Science fills a gap between the scientific
journals and the comprehensive reference books. Scientists can
delve in depth on a particular subject relating to soil science.
Contributors are asked in particular to develop and identify
principles that have practical applications to both developing and
developed agricultures. Advances in Soil Science was established to
be international in scope and cover all subjects relating to soil
science. This volume certainly fulfills that objective. The first
chapter is concerned with denitrification. The significance of
denitrification in nitrogen use efficiency in agricultural,
grassland, and forest ecosystems, and in global nitrogen cycling is
now well recognized. Therefore, an understanding of denitrification
is essential for the efficient use of nitrogen fertilizers and for
protecting the environ ment. The second chapter looks at the
effects of subzero temperatures on the physical, biological, and
chemical processes. This is an important area of soil science that
has not been studied in great detail."
