Sulphur as an essential plant nutrient has received  little attention. This is explained by the facts that sulphur was  obviously in sufficient supply from the atmosphere, from soil and as a  by-product in mineral fertilizers. Increases in the yield potential  and thus in the nutrient requirement of modern crops, however, as well  as remarkable changes in SO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e emissions by private households,  power stations and industry, associated with legislative measures to  reduce air and water pollution, have altered the situation to a large  extent. In particular the public concerns about forest decline and  pollution-induced climatic changes have initiated extensive research  programs on the physiological functions of sulphur in plants, on the  occurrence and plant availability of sulphur in agricultural and  forest soils and on the chemistry of sulphur compounds in the tropo-  and stratosphere. \u003cbr\u003e  This book cannot be an encylcopedia of sulphur in all the media  mentioned nor in all ecozones of the globe. However, it aims to give  an overview of our present knowledge with a special focus on the  sulphur situation in agrosystems of industrialised Western Europe. The  ecological trends for sulphur observed in this region during recent  decades are likely to be mirrored wherever industrialisation and  urbanisation take place and where an increasing standard of living  demands clean air, good drinking water and nutritious food.  Agricultural production systems, therefore, require well-founded  information on the actual sulphur nutrition and potential  sulphur-fertilizer requirement of crops and soils respectively. It is  hoped that this book will provide this information and will encourage  further research where open questions still exist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792351238\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5100-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 223\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312314372236,"sku":"9780792351238","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792351238.jpg?v=1771524077","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792351238","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
