This Special Issue of Water, Air and Soil Pollution offers
contributions from the th 18 IUFRO workshop on Air Pollution
Stress, Forest Responses to the Pollution st Climate of the 21
Century held in Edinburgh, Scotland, from September 21 to 23,1998.
The meeting was held under the auspices of IUFRO, Research Group
7.04.00 chaired by Dr Kevin Percy of Canada. A new session
structure was adopted to stimulate activity within the six working
parties and a brief resume of these is presented at the front of
this volume. The two, one-day plenary sessions were devoted to the
two important air pollution issues, nitrogen deposition and ozone.
Invited papers were augmented by a large and excellent contribution
of poster papers. The final day comprised parallel Working Party
Sessions with pre arranged speakers to stimulate discussions. One
hundred and thirty one scientists attended, representing 20
countries and 7 IUFRO regions: Northern Europe, Central Europe,
Eastern Europe, Mediterranean, North America, Asia and the Western
Pacific. Lucy Sheppard David Fowler Water, Air, and Soil Pollution

British Archives is the most comprehensive guide to archive resources in the UK. Since publication of the first edition more than ten years ago, it has established itself as an indispensable source for essential information about access archives and archive repositories in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Over 1,200 entries provide detailed information on the nature and extent of the collection as well as the organization holding it.
This volume brings together extended reviews and papers of new
scientific research on atmospheric nitrogen deposition impacts
globally. While there is a wealth of evidence on the magnitude,
components and effects of nitrogen disposition on floral
biodiversity in Europe and North America, there is an obvious lack
of information on impacts on above- and below-ground fauna, and all
impacts in other parts of the world, with no clear overview of how
the different strands of evidence fit together. This overall
synthesis is targeted at the international conventions, but is
equally readable for scientists, environmental managers,
conservation agencies and policy makers. 'This timely book
highlights the global nitrogen deposition problem. Major regions of
the world are exceeding sustainability thresholds for adverse
effects on ecosystem function and biodiversity. This highlights the
importance of ongoing work, including under the Convention on
Biological Diversity, in developing indicators and monitoring
nitrogen deposition effects to enable appropriate measures. This
book presents a milestone towards this global goal as the
international community works toward meeting the Aichi Biodiversity
Targets, especially Target 8: "By 2020, pollution, including from
excess nutrients, has been brought to levels that are not
detrimental to ecosystem function and biodiversity". Braulio
Ferreira de Souza Dias, Executive Secretary, Convention on
Biological Diversity "This key volume highlights the global
challenge to reduce atmospheric nitrogen pollution resulting from
energy production, transport and agricultural activities. It takes
forward the agenda recently launched in the UNEP commissioned
report 'Our Nutrient World". Dr. Anjan Datta, UNEP.
