Reihe: Advances in Soil Science

Because inappropriate use of phosphorus can lead to non-point source pollution and eutrophication of natural waters, effective systems for managing its use are needed to minimize environmental risks. This book focuses on the availability and recycling of phosphorus, regulatory and policy issues of sustainable phosphorus use, and water quality management in agroecosystems pertaining to phosphorus. Sections are dedicated to global phosphorus reserves, cycling and pathways of phosphorus, phosphorus in agriculture, human dimensions and policy intervention, and research and development priorities.

Zielgruppe

Soil scientists, agronomists and environmental scientists, including groundwater specialists and chemists. It also would be useful to crop scientists, professionals working for national and international government agencies and NGOs involved with planning and policy in developing and developed nations, resource conservationists/management and policy makers.
