An International Journal for Scientific Research on the Relationship of Agriculture and Food Production to the Biosphere
| |
| ELSEVIER | |
This journal is concerned with the interaction of methods of agricultural production, agroecosystems and the environment. Topics covered include the comparison of different methods of production (intensive, extensive, linear, cyclic) in terms of their ecology; how agricultural production methods affect pollution of soil, water and air, the quality of food, and the use of energy and non-renewable resources; the effect of industrial pollutants on agriculture; and the policy issues involved in the change and development of agriculture.
The journal aims to serve as a focus for scientists in agriculture, food production, forestry and the environment, as well as for administrators and policy-makers concerned with these issues in research establishments, government, industry and international organisations. It publishes original scientific papers, review articles and occasional comment papers.
>From 1994 onwards a section of the journal Applied Soil Ecology is published separately. Applied Soil Ecology addresses the role of soil organisms and their interactions in relation to: agricultural productivity, nutrient cycling and other soil processes, the maintenance of soil structure and fertility, the impact of human activities and xenobiotics on soil ecosystems and bio(techno)logical control of soil-inhabiting pests, diseases and weeds.
Subscribers to Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment will have the opportunity to subscribe to both journals at a special reduced combined subscription rate. Contact the Publisher for further details.
