"Respected and known worldwide in the field for his research in plant nutrition, Dr. Horst Marschner authored two editions of Mineral Nutrition of Higher Plants. His research greatly advanced the understanding of plant nutrition ranging from rhizosphere processes to nutrient uptake and utilization by plants in the field. While visiting field experiments in West Africa in 1996, Dr. Marschner contracted malaria and passed away, and until now this legacy title went unrevised. Despite the passage of time, it remains the definitive reference on plant mineral nutrition. Since the last edition, great progress has been made in the understanding of various aspects of plant nutrition. In recent years, the perspective on the mode of action of nutrients in plant metabolism and yield formation has shifted. Much progress has been made in the molecular aspects of nutrient uptake and transport within plants as well as the responses of plants to nutrient deficiency or toxicity. These and many other developments are covered in this long-awaited new edition."--P. [4] of cover.

The soils are fundamental to our existence, delivering water and nutrients to plants, that feed us. But they are in many ways in danger and their conservation is therefore a most important focus for science, governments and society as a whole. A team of world recognised researchers have prepared this first English edition based on the 16th European edition. • The precursors and the processes of soil development • The physical, biological and chemical properties of soils • Nutrients and Pollutants • The various soil classifications with the main focus on the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) • The most important soils and soil landscapes of the world • Soil Evaluation Techniques • Basic Principles of Soil Conservation Whoever works with soils needs this book.

R. F. HUTTL AND W. SCHAAF Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus, Chair of Soil Protection and Recultivation, P.O. Box 10 13 44, 03013 Cottbus, Germany The health status of forest trees and stands is determined by numerous site factors such as chemical, physical, and biological soil factors, water supply, climate, weather conditions, management history as well as atmospheric deposition impacts. In this context, the nutrient supply is an important evaluation parameter. Forest trees well supplied with nutrients are more resistant to stresses that affect the forest ecosystem than other trees. This is true for both biotic and abiotic influences. Therefore the investigation of the so-called 'new type forest damage' was aimed at the exact determination of the health status of damaged trees. When considering the complete forest ecosystem, health (=vitality) means the sustainable ability to withstand negative environmental influences and still remain stable and productive. From this viewpoint, an optimal nutritional status is a prerequisite for an optimal health status. The term 'new type forest damage' comprises a number of damage symptoms which have been observed in various tree species on very different sites since the mid-1970s, particularly in Europe and North America. However, they occurred much more intensively in the 1980s. Generally, this forest damage was thought to be related to negative impacts of air pollutants.

Dieses Handbuch zur visuellen Diagnose von Ernährungsstörungen bei Pflanzen soll Praktikern und Studierenden der Land- und Forstwirtschaft sowie des Garten-, Obst- und Weinanbaus und des Pflanzen-, Boden-, Natur- und Umweltschutzes die Möglichkeit geben, die Beurteilung von aufgetretenen Schadsymptomen an Pflanzen im Freiland unmittelbar "vor Ort" im Feldbestand vorzunehmen. Es soll dazu dienen, ohne technische Hilfsmittel ausgedehnte oder auch nur örtlich begrenzte abiotische (durch Ernährungsstörungen bei Pflanzen bedingte) Schadsymptome aufzuklären und von biotischen Pflanzenschäden abzugrenzen, um nachfolgend die Ursachen für das Auftreten von Ernährungsstörungen durch gezielte Boden- und Pflanzenanalysen zu ermitteln. Darüber hinaus kann und soll das Handbuch Lehrern, Studenten und Mitarbeitern in landwirtschaftlichen, phytopathologischen und ökologisch orientierten Forschungs- und Untersuchungseinrichtungen sowie Beratern als griffbereite Informationsquelle und als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Das Handbuch basiert auf der 3. Auflage des Buches „Ernährungsstörungen bei Kulturpflanzen“ von Werner Bergmann (1993) sowie den Ergebnissen langjähriger Versuchs- und Untersuchungstätigkeit der Autoren im Bereich der Mineralstoffernährung von Kulturpflanzen. Im Handbuch wurde der Diagnoseschlüssel zum Erkennen von Nährstoffmangel und -überschuss anwenderfreundlich umgesetzt. Weitere zusätzliche Informationen unterstützen die Ernährungsdiagnose. "Ohne Mineralstoffe ist kein Leben von Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen möglich! Ein unzureichender oder unausgewogener Mineralstoffhaushalt muss daher zwangsläufig bei Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen zu Beschwerden, Leistungsminderungen und Erkrankungen führen." (Prof. W. Bergmann)
