Paperback. Condition: New. This book features four peer-reviewed reviews on regenerative techniques to improve soil health.The first chapter discusses some common issues regarding the use of bio-based fertilisers, such as the concentration of nutrients leading to losses of reactive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus into the environment.The second chapter provides a critical evaluation of the potential of compost to improve soil health, as well as its effect on soil nutrient cycling, soil hydraulic properties, crop productivity, soil biodiversity and environmental quality. Two case studies on the benefits and risks of using compost in perennial and annual crops are also included.The third chapter reviews the benefits of service crops, including cover and catch crops, in both intensive cropping systems and low input systems. The chapter discusses an array of studies from temperate Europe to illustrate these benefits, including the use of service crops for reducing N leaching losses.The final chapter addresses how crop rotations affect nitrogen flows in organic farming systems and how these rotations can be utilised to optimise the nitrogen cycle and improve nitrogen use efficiency. The chapter utilises 30 years' worth of data collected from over 90 different temperate field studies published between 1990 and 2020.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. PREFACE: "Five years alongside the Brussels Urban Firefighters. Five years listening to the radio or the semaphone. Five years of anxiety on the road to a disaster, day and night, alongside already very demanding professional activities. Five years of exaltation and joy in search of the best shots in the most dramatic moments. Five years of joy, emotion, or disappointment upon leaving the darkroom in front of the photo of the year or the veiled image. Testimony of blood, of mourning, of desolation, of groans of a city touched to the depths of its being by the catastrophe, or of the simple dismay of a small disaster victim struck by fate, but also images of fleeting joy in the midst of the drama, of comfort in the midst of sorrow. These images, instructive, captivating, striking, and moving, according to each person's sensitivity, the firefighter will discover in them an astonishing force, an extraordinary relief of an event certainly experienced, but not felt in this spectacular dimension. Through the lens, he will discover other facets of the profession accomplished over the years in the shadows, for once dissipated. Memories will be revived: a perilous red, particularly painful smoke, enormous flames, a cold near the furnace. The public will find in Robert Dekock's exceptional work a vivid testimony to the total and permanent dedication of a community to the benefit of the community. More eloquent than a long speech, more complete than a detailed assessment, more impactful than the best white paper, it will, I hope, be our ambassador in the city and well beyond our borders. May it, through the merits of its author, better promote the Brussels firefighters, increase appreciation for their skills and work, and make their aspirations understood. Lt. Colonel Hugo VAN GOMPEL, Chief Officer of the Brussels Urban Fire Service" This book is an excellent photostory of the work of the Brussels fire department, with over 300 B&W photos of these brave men fighting fires and saving lives.
