Book Description
Proceedings of a symposium jointly organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 1-5 October 1990. The objective of the symposium was to evaluate progress in the use of stable isotopes to examine various aspects of soil fertility and plant nutrition and some environmental problems, the potential and limitations of existing methods, and possibilities for further development. The meeting focused on the site level rather than the landscape level and, more specifically, on soil-plant relations, although landscape environmental aspects were also examined. The underlying theme was an assessment of current and possible future approaches to two problems of concern: how to increase or sustain productivity with minimum inputs, and how to limit environmental damage due to inappropriate land management and to industry.
