内容説明

This book demonstrates that long-term experimentation and monitoring are vitally important in understanding changes that are occurring in the environment and the way they interact with agriculture and natural ecosystems. Chapters are based on papers presented at a conference held in July 1993 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Rothamsted Experimental Station. During these 150 years of agricultural research a unique set of field experiments have run continuously for all or most of that time. These experiments, originally set up to study the nutrient requirements of arable crops, now provide a unique resource that is relevant to sustainability, environmental impact and climatic change. The book consists of 22 chapters and covers a wide range of topics including descriptions of various long-term experiments in the USA, Australia, Eastern Europe and Africa, as well as studies at Rothamsted. It will interest a very wide range of readers in agronomy, soil science, forestry, ecology and environmental science.
