Quantifying and Managing Soil Functions in Earth's Critical Zone:
Combining Experimentation and Mathematical Modelling, Volume 142,
the latest in the Advances in Agronomy series continues its
reputation as a leading reference and first-rate source for the
latest research in agronomy. Each volume contains an eclectic group
of reviews by leading scientists throughout the world. Five volumes
are published yearly, ensuring that the authors' contributions are
disseminated to the readership in a timely manner. As always, the
subjects covered are varied and exemplary of the myriad of subject
matter dealt with by this long-running serial.
Nowhere is the conflict between economic progress and environmental
quality more apparent than in the mineral extraction industries.
The latter half of the 20th century saw major advances in the
reclamation technologies. However, mine water pollution problems
have not been addressed. In many cases, polluted mine water long
outlives the life of the mining operation. As the true cost of
long-term water treatment responsibilities has become apparent,
interest has grown in the technologies that would decrease the
production of contaminated water and make its treatment less
costly. This is the first book to address the mine water issue
head-on. The authors explain the complexities of mine water
pollution by reviewing the hydrogeological context of its
formation, and provide an up-to-date presentation of prevention and
treatment technologies. The book will be a valuable reference for
all professionals who encounter polluted mine water on a regular or
occasional basis.
This book brings together the essential evidence and policy
opportunities regarding the global importance of soil carbon for
sustaining Earth's life support system for humanity. Covering the
science and policy background for this important natural resource,
it describes land management options that improve soil carbon
status and therefore increase the benefits that humans derive from
the environment. Written by renowned global experts, it is the
principal output from a SCOPE rapid assessment process project.
