                      <h2>Phosphate in Soils: Interaction with
                        Micronutrients, Radionuclides and Heavy Metals</h2>
                      <p>Edited by H. Magdi Selim. Published August 1,
                        2017 by <span class="caps">CRC</span> Press in
                        the Series: Advances in Trace Elements in the
                        Environment; 381 pages, <span class="caps">ISBN</span>
                        9781138803183, Price paperback £50.00, hardback
                        £102.00. Recent studies reveal that Phosphorus
                        (P) in the form of phosphate, a macronutrient
                        essential for plant growth, and crop yields can
                        influence the bioavailability, retention, and
                        mobility of trace elements, metal(loid)s, and
                        radio nuclides in soils. When this occurs,
                        phosphates can affect the dynamics of heavy
                        metals and influence soil characteristics,
                        impacting soil mobility and toxicity.<br>
                        Phosphate in Soils: Interaction with
                        Micronutrients, Radionuclides and Heavy Metals
                        utilizes the latest research to emphasize the
                        role that phosphate plays in enhancing or
                        reducing the mobility of heavy metals in soil,
                        and the soil-water-plant environment. It
                        provides an in-depth understanding of each heavy
                        metal species, and expands on phosphate
                        interactions in geological material.<br>

                        Soil Nematodes of Grasslands in Northern China
                        presents research on China’s temperate

                        the northern temperate grassland. It examines
                        nematode distribution patterns along the
                        transect from trophic group and family, to genus
                        level, also evaluating their relationship with
                        climatic conditions, plant biomass and soil
                        parameters. The book then presents detailed

                        Soil organisms in manure or organisms that
                        colonize dung pats can be impacted by the
                        application of veterinary medical products,
                        especially parasiticides, to livestock. For this
                        reason, the authorization process for veterinary
                        medicinal products in the European Union and
                        other countries includes a requirement for
                        “higher-tier” tests when adverse effects on dung
                        organisms can be detected in single-species
                        toxicity tests. However, no guidance documents
                        for the performance of higher-tier tests are
                        available, so far. Therefore, an international
                        research project was undertaken to develop and
                        validate a proposed test method under varying
                        field conditions of climate, soil, and endemic
                        coprophilous fauna. The test took place at
                        Lethbridge (Canada), Montpellier (France),
                        Zurich (Switzerland), and Wageningen (The
                        Netherlands). The aim of the project was to
                        determine if fecal residues of a parasitide with
                        known insecticidal activity (ivermectin) showed
                        similar effects on insects breeding in dung of
                        treated animals, coprophilous organisms in the
                        soil beneath the dung, and rates of dung

                        resources, is discussed. An introduction to
                        soils as a natural body with respect to their
                        formation, physical and chemical properties used
                        during inventory of soils, and soil
                        classification is given in Chapter-5.The
                        spectral response patterns of soils including
                        hyperspectral characteristics -fundamental to
                        deriving information on soils from spectral
                        measurements, and the techniques of soil
                        resources mapping are discussed in chapter-6 and
                        -7,respectively. Furthermore, the creation of
                        digital soil resources database and the
                        development of soil information systems, a very
                        important aspect of storage and dissemination of
                        digital soil data to the end users are discussed
                        in chapter-8. Lastly, the applications of remote

                        The depletion of land resources is one of the
                        greatest challenges for mankind in this
                        millennium. Shrinking land resources, weather
                        aberrations, deterioration of land quality, and
                        the globalization and liberalization of market
                        economies have become intertwined to influence
                        the sustainable management of land resources and
                        land use plans. This important volume addresses
                        these challenges, looking at how scientists
