Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands presents the program
of the first International Conference on the Remediation and
Management of Degraded Lands. This collection reviews the extent of
resource debasement and offers solutions for their restoration. The
14-part first section deals with mine management and
rehabilitation. Topics include the devastating results of open-cut
mining, open-pit mining, lignite surface mining and acid mining.
Despite such ruin, the articles reveal the possibilities for
reclamation. Part two devotes nine chapters to the management of
derelict lands. Reforestation, soil fertility prognosis, and the
uses of nitrogen are just a few of the covered subjects. This
portion of the book pays special attention to the successful
results of remediation in China and Hong Kong. The final division
addresses soil contamination and reclamation. There are eleven
chapters on subjects that include the single and interactive
effects of aluminum, the effectiveness of EDTA/HCI and the value of
pig-on-litter compost as a tool for edible crop growth. These and
other innovative techniques make Remediation and Management of
Degraded Lands a valuable addition to any environmental library.
This book on wetlands ecosystems in Asia deals with function and
management. It is the first volume in the Developments in
Ecosystems series.
