Soils in an environmental context: an American perspective

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The understanding of fundamental properties of and processes in soils has both agricultural and environmental benefits. On a global basis, soil science will continue to be viewed as primarily an applied agricultural science. Soil science also plays a key role in understanding and modeling the transport of pollutants to ground water and to remediation of polluted urban environments. The AA. provide a few examples of how soil science has contributed to solutions of environmental problems and is continuing to contribute today. They have drawn examples dominantly from the American literature.
