Excerpt from Effect of Crops and Fertilizer on Soil Nitrogen, Carbon, and Water Content, and on Succeeding Wheat Yields and Quality Evans, and Miles (4) studied the effect of 30 or more years of cropping on N and C content of soil at three locations in the Great Plains. Three years of alfalfa or grass in a 6-year rota tion reduced the loss of soil N and C compared to small grain cropping, but neither alfalfa nor grass maintained these elements at their orig inal level.

This timely work reviews the best current thinking on practicing sustainable agriculture, with contributions from agricultural, biological, environmental and social scientists. The emphasis is on temperate zones, with many of the contributions addressing U.S. agriculture. However, the principles explored here have application in any climatic or geographical region. The book discusses stewardship, biodiversity, reliance on mixed food systems and other approaches, always with a view toward reducing environmental degradation, maintaining economic viability and stabilizing rural communities.
