Reviews

I find this book to be interesting, easy to read, and an excellent summary of massive amounts of data associated with the NRI evaluations. The authors are commended for producing a useful resource for all soil scientists, agronomists, and land use planners. - Soil Science, Vol. 169, No. 8, August 2004 [T]his book has a large number of data sets that will help scientists identify which soil degradation process needs improvement. in the United States. This book will also help scientists working in different parts of the world. This book is extremely well written, and I recommend its reading by undergraduates who are interested in pursuing a career in natural resource conservation and by graduate students working in natural resources. All scientists need to look at the analyses of previously published soil degradation data, which are presented in this single book. - Journal of Environmental Quality, Vol. 33, Nov/Dec 2004
