Publisher Synopsis
I found this book fascinating, well written and readable, yet full of facts and figures regarding carbon flows, nutrient flows, water quality and interactions with the atmosphere. I would strongly recommend it for every library, and for anyone interested in the reported environmental changes associated with the Amazon forests. * Geoscientist * Read more...
