Description based on print version record.
Summary:This book treats the inter-relations between plants and minerals in an entirely new way in that it introduces the notion of eco-engineering: i.e. the manipulation of the mineral world by the living world to the ends of the living world. These inter-relations are the basis for traditional agriculture and should be the basis for the new, ecologically oriented land management disciplines, including agriculture itself. These relations also impact surface geochemistry and determine pollution problems. An understanding of this concept will lead to a renewed consideration of surface environmental pro.
