Defining Soil Quality for a Sustainable Environment: Proceedings of a Symposium Sponsored by Divisions S-3, S-6, and S-2 of the Soil Science Society (S S S A SPECIAL PUBLICATION)

Eight full papers and extended summaries of ten more from a November 1992 symposium in Minneapolis wrestle with what soil quality means in theory and practice, identify indices to measure it, and assess its biological importance. The collection is seen as the beginning of raising scientific study and policy concern about soil quality to the same level as that of air and water. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
