BOOK REVIEW Simulation of Nitrogen Behaviour in Soils. Beek and Frissel. Wageningcn. Price Dfl. t2.50. This monograph is a worked example of the development of a computer programme for the simulation of some of the microbiological and physical processes occurring in a well cultivated soil. The microbiology of soil has features in common with waste water treatment, for example nitrification. and workers in this field may find some of the data and con-
cepts used in the model of interest. Without exception the equations used by the authors to define their mathematical model are presented in the form required by the computer. Therefore, to comprehend the structure of the model easily, the reader requires a working knowledge of either CSMP or FORTRAN, the computer languages used for writing the programme.
