Book Description

ISBN-10: 0851999131 | ISBN-13: 978-0851999135 | Publication Date: November 7, 2005 | Edition: First

There is widespread public concern about the effects of nitrate derived from farming on water quality and public health. But research on nitrate during the past decade has revealed wide discrepancies between public perceptions and reality. The main problems from nitrate are ecological changes in coastal and estuarine waters and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. This gas, largely derived from nitrate, is a threat to the ozone layer in the stratosphere and is also a greenhouse gas. This book builds on Farming, Fertilizers and the Nitrate Problem (CABI, 1991) by Addiscott, Whitmore and Powlson but has been restructured to take account of new developments and to bring out more clearly the role of politicians and economists in the 'nitrate problem'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive overview that's well written, November 7, 2007

H. M. Brown (IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nitrate, Agriculture and the Environment (Paperback)

This book caught my attention because of its title and my interest in nitrogen and the soil environment. It provided a well written overview of environmental aspects of soil nitrogen that revolves around good science.

Must read for anyone involved with basic issues surrounding soil nitrates and water quality or concerns about NOx gas emissions.
