  • Orogenesis

    The Making of Mountains

    by Michael R. W. Johnson, Simon L. Harley ...
    Orogenesis, the process of mountain building, occurs when two tectonic plates collide – either forcing material upwards to form mountain belts such as the Alps or Himalayas or causing one plate to be subducted below the other, resulting in volcanic mountain chains such as the Andes. Integrating the approaches of structural geology and metamorphism, this book provides an up-to-date overview of ... Read more

    Edited by Christopher Martius, Holm Tiessen, Paul L.G. Vlek ...
    Series Book 93 - Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences
    Soil organic matter is a reservoir for plant nutrients, provides water-holding capacity, stabilizes soil structure against compaction and erosion, and thus determines soil productivity. All agriculture to some degree depends on soil organic matter. It has long been known that soil organic matter declines when land is taken into cultivation, and that the productivity of new agricultural land is ... Read more
