| Description: |
Examines the state of knowledge of the effects of tree species on soils, considering evidence from natural gradients in species distributions, and from "common garden" experiments. This work contains case studies that illustrate the key role played by tree species in determining long-term development and sustainability of soils. |
| Synopsis: |
Tree species differ in their effects on soil properties and biogeochemical cycles. The supply of nitrogen typically differs by two-fold under the influence of different species on the same soil types, and rates of trace gas fluxes (including NO, N20 and CH4) may differ even more. The influence of global changes on soils (and feedback between soils and the atmosphere) will depend more strongly on changes in the distributions of tree species across landscapes, than on direct effects of climate on soils. This book examines the state of knowledge of the effects of tree species on soils, considering evidence from broad natural gradients in species distributions, and from "common garden" experiments where several species have been planted on the same site. Topics include the influence of the chemistry of forest litter on soil biogeochemistry, the dependence of soil biotic communities on tree species, and the interactions of physical, chemical and biological factors in determining the overall effects of different species.Case studies from across North America, Europe, Russia, South America and Australia illustrate the key role played by tree species in determining long-term development and sustainability of soils. |

The Pirate's Daughter
Errol Flynn washes up on Jamaica in his storm-wrecked yacht. Ida Joseph has set her heart on marrying Flynn. Flynn and Ida do not marry, but Ida bears Flynn a daughter, May, who will meet her father but once. This is a tale of passion and recklessness, of two generations of women and their battles for love and survival, and of a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of hard-won independence. The book has been selected as one of Richard and Judy's Summer Reads 2008.

Unforgettable
The fourth book in this fantastic new series from the author of the number-one bestselling GOSSIP GIRL series. Old rivalries are about to make way for new friendships as Dumbarton's residents embrace the sharing-is-caring vibe at the newly-founded Women of Waverly club. There are some pretty juicy topics for discussion and even juicier topics being kept under wraps. For now.
