Based upon papers offered at a meeting held in Edinburgh in September 1999.
This book is divided into 6 sections: organic matter and sustainability; modelling soil organic matter dynamics - global challenges; soil organic matter management - the roles of residue quality in C sequestration and N supply; the role of soil organic matter and manures in sustainable nutrient cycling; implications of soil biodiversity for sustainable organic matter management; and soil teeming with life - new frontiers for soil science.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
