The purpose of Advances in Soil Science is to provide a forum for
leading scientists to analyze and summarize the available
scientific information on a subject, assessing its importance and
identifying additional research needs. A wide array of subjects has
been addressed by authors from many countries in the initial ten
volumes of the series. The quick acceptance of the series by both
authors and readers has been very gratifying and confirms our
perception that a need did exist for a medium to fill the gap
between the scientific journals and the comprehensive reference
books. This volume is the first of the series devoted entirely to a
single topic soil degradation. Future volumes will include both
single-topic volumes as well as volumes containing reviews of
different topics of soil science, as in the case of the first ten
volumes. There are increasing concern and attention about managing
natural re sources, particularly soil and water. Soil degradation
is clearly one of the most pressing problems facing mankind.
Although the spotlight regarding soil degradation in recent years
has focused on Africa, concern about the degradation of soil and
water resources is worldwide. The widespread con cern about global
environmental change is also being linked to severe problems of
soil degradation. Therefore, we are indeed pleased that the first
volume of the series devoted to a single topic addresses such an
impor tant issue. The current volume is also the first of the
series involving a guest editor."
