Developments in Soil Science Volume 28A. Soil Mineral–Organic Matter–Microorganism Interactions and Ecosystem Health
Applied Clay Science 22 (2003) 261 www.elsevier.com/locate/clay
Book review Developments in Soil Science Volume 28A. Soil Mineral –Organic Matter –Microorganism Interactions and Ecosystem Health Dynamics, Mobility and Transformation of Pollutants and Nutrients available from Elsevier Science B.V., P.O. Box 211, 1000 AE Amsterdam, The Netherlands, or in the USA/ Canada from Elsevier Science, P.O. Box 945, Madison Square Station, New York, NY 10159-0945, USA This publication is part of a series of special books or volumes of papers presented at several international symposia organised by the Interactions of Soil Minerals with Organic Components and Microorganisms, a working group of the International Union of Soil Sciences between 1992 and 2001. Volume 28A presents 28 papers from the 3rd symposium held in May 2000, and covers the dynamics, mobility and transformations of pollutants and nutrients. For the readers of Applied Clay Science who specialise in the fields of soil science and clay – organic reactions, this volume is a useful compilation of current research activities which include:
Sorption of metals by allophane –humic complexes; Colloid-mediated transport of metals; Effects of organic matter on metal mobilisation and immobilisation in soils and forest litters effect of amendments with sewage sludge; Studies of soil factors and soil types in the uptake of metals in plants; the degradation of pesticides
doi:10.1016/S0169-1317(03)00068-1
and TNT; and the sorption/release of endocrine disruptors; Application of EDAX analysis to biogeochemical research; Role of pH and organic acids on the interaction between esculetine and iron (III); Adsorption of phosphates on minerals and soils affected by inorganic and organic ligands; and the interactions between Al, Fe and P in certain forest soils; The role of clays in restoring perturbed ecosystems and impacts of changing forest management practices on organic matter in soils; New approaches to the molecular structure and properties of soil organic matter; Effects of concentration on self-assembling of dissolved humic substances; Changes in soil pore size with long-term application of organic materials; Effects of organically complexed aluminum, ionic strength and pH on the CEC of organic materials; Abiotic reactions of organics on clay mineral surfaces; Complexation of ferricyanide ion by unfractionated humic substances.
