An Analysis of Farmers Preferences for Different Land Use Options in Northern Tajikistan: A Choice Experiment Approach
ISBN: 9783631634967 / Angielski / Twarda / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents the outcome of research concerning farmers preferences for different agricultural land use and agri-environmental attributes in the northern part of Tajikistan. The study was carried out within the DAAD-funded CLINCA (Climate Change Network for Central Asia) project. The results of this study reveal the existence of preference heterogeneity amongst farmers in the study area, showing that a decision for land allocation under different crops is jointly associated with other socio-economic and environmental factors."

Soil in the Environment: Crucible of Terrestrial Life
ISBN: 9780123485366 / Angielski / Twarda / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soil in the Environment is key for every course in soil science, earth science, and environmental disciplines. This textbook engages students to critically look at soil as the central link in the function and creation of the terrestrial environment. For the first time, Dr. Hillel brilliantly discusses soils as a natural body that is engaged in dynamic interaction with the atmosphere above and the strata below that influences the planet's climate and hydrological cycle, and serves as the primary habitat for a versatile community of living organisms. The book offers a... Soil in the Environment is key for every course in soil science, earth science, and environmental disciplines. This textbook engages student... |

Hydropedology: Synergistic Integration of Soil Science and Hydrology
ISBN: 9780123869418 / Angielski / Twarda / 858 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hydropedology is a microcosm for what is happening in Soil Science. Once a staid discipline found in schools of agriculture devoted to increasing crop yield, soil science is transforming itself into an interdisciplinary mulch with great significance not only for food production but also climate change, ecology, preservation of natural resources, forestry, and carbon sequestration. Hydropedology brings together pedology (soil characteristics) with hydrology (movement of water) to understand and achieve the goals now associated with modern soil science.

Chemical Equilibria and Kinetics in Soils
ISBN: 9780195075649 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book clearly illustrates the limitations of using chemical thermodynamics to describe chemical phenomena in soils--especially with regard to kinetics and molecular mechanisms--and proposes that the quantitative description of soils is not complete without adequate characterization of the rates of the chemical reactions. The author, a renowned authority in the field, focuses on reactions in the soil solution and considers aqueous phase properties. He also cogently draws distinctions between thermodynamic chemical species and kinetic chemical species. This critical introduction to the use...

The Intelligent Gardener: Growing Nutrient-Dense Food
ISBN: 9780865717183 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Vegetables, fruits, and grains are a major source of vital nutrients, but centuries of intensive agriculture have depleted our soils to historic lows. As a result, the broccoli you consume today may have less than half of the vitamins and minerals that the equivalent serving would have contained a hundred years ago. This is a matter for serious concern, since poor nutrition has been linked to myriad health problems including cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. For optimum health we must increase the nutrient density of our foods to the levels enjoyed by...

Impact of Arbuscular Mycorrhizas on Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Ecosystems
ISBN: 9783034896542 / Angielski / Miękka / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book, prepared by participants of the European network COST ACTION 810 (1989-93) is the outcome of a meeting held in Switzerland (Einsiedeln, September 29 to October 2, 1993) on the "Impact of arbuscular mycorrhizas on sustainable agriculture and natural ecosystems." COST(Cooperation Scientifique et Technique) Networks were created in 1971 by the Commission of European Communities, and later enlarged to include non-European Member States, to promote pre-competitive scientific and technical research in fields of common interest. During the eighties, COST ACTIONS were launched in bio-...

Field-Scale Water and Solute Flux in Soils
ISBN: 9783034899697 / Angielski / Miękka / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book contains the proceedings of the first workshop held at Monte Verita near Ascona, Switzerland on September 24-29, 1989. The workshop was designed to survey the current understanding of water and solute transport through unsaturated soils under field conditions, and to foster research by discussing some unresolved key issues relative to transport modeling and experimentation in four "Think Tank" groups. The first part of this book consists of the reports prepared by the Think Tank groups, who discussed the following topics: modeling approaches, effective large scale properties,...

Fertilizer Sulfur and Food Production
ISBN: 9789024732449 / Angielski / Miękka / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fertilizer is a vital component of strategies for expanding foodproduction. The rapid growth in population and the widening food deficits inmany tropical countries ofAsia, Africa, and Latin America call attention to those aspects of fertilization that have been neglected but are expected to yield large economic payoffs in the future. Fertilizer sulfur falls into this category. In the past fertilizer sulfur received little attention from researchers and policymakers since sulfur deficiency was not considered a serious problem. It was not a problem because of low crop yields, extensive...

Iron in Soils and Clay Minerals
ISBN: 9789401082785 / Angielski / Miękka / 894 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Probably more than any other element, iron markedly influences the chemical and physical properties of soils and sediments in the earth. Considering its transition metal status, with potential variation in electronic configuration, ionic radius, and magnetic moment, combined with its abundance and relatively large mass, little wonder that one sees its unique influence on every hand. Pre sentations at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (NATO AS ) on Iron in Soils and Clay Minerals reviewed and discussed the occurrence, behavior, and properties of Fe-bearing minerals found in soils and in the...

ISBN: 9789401019354 / Angielski / Miękka / 630 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ladies a n d g e n t 1 e m e n, I have the pleasure to welcome you here in Prague in the name of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and to open the Fifth Inter national Colloquium on Soil Zoology. We are very glad that Czecho slovakia was chosen for this important meeting. It is clear to all of us that the soil plays and will play a de cisive part in providing food for the explosive increase of human pop ulation. For this reason we watch with great anxiety the negative influence of human activities on the environment accompanied also by the other destructive intervention into the soil...

Soils, Plants and Clay Minerals: Mineral and Biologic Interactions
ISBN: 9783642425936 / Angielski / Miękka / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book represents a rather complicated history of encounters, changes in research interest and some very interesting results. Initially it is the very fruitful interaction of Ecology and Geology. The point of view of ecologists is extremely refreshing for hard science people. Interaction and inter-relationships are the focus of Ecology whereas the traditional sciences, such as Geology, have tried to isolate the natural phenomena so that thye could be studied in a more rigorous manner. The traditional sciences were of course natural science - based since the world to be observed was at the...
