Bruggeman -- Introduction to Conceptual Models, Calculating and Using Rate Constants, Economics, and Problem Solving / Sharon A. Clay -- Optimization of Financially Constrained Fertilizer Use / Kayuki Kaizzi -- Cover Crops Impacts on Nitrogen Scavenging, Nitrous Oxide Emissions, Nitrogen Fertilizer Replacement, Erosion, and Soil Health / David E. Clay -- Soil and Nitrogen Management to Reduce Nitrous Oxide Emissions / Jerry L. Hatfield -- The Use of Enriched and Natural Abundance Nitrogen and Carbon Isotopes in Soil Fertility Research / Janet Moriles-Miller -- Soil and Fertilizer Management Practices to Control Nutrient Losses under Subsurface Tile-Drained Conditions / Amitava Chatterjee.
Summary: In Soil Fertility Management in Agroecosystems, Editors Amitava Chatterjee and David Clay provide a thoughtful survey of important concepts in soil fertility management. For the requirements of our future workforce, it is imperative that we evolve our understanding of soil fertility. Agronomists and soil scientists are increasingly challenged by extreme climatic conditions. Farmers are experimenting with integrating cover crops into rotations and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. In other words, there is no such a thing as a simple fertilizer recommendation in today's agriculture. Topics covered include crop-specific nutrient management, program assessment, crop models for decision making, optimization of fertilizer use, cover crops, reducing nitrous oxide emissions, natural abundance techniques, tile-drained conditions, and soil biological fertility.
