Publication of the Geoderma Special Issue of papers presented at the 8th International Acid Sulfate Soils Conference (Maryland, U.S.A.)

Posted on Jul 30 2016 by admin

A Special Issue of Acid Sulfate Soil papers has been published in Geoderma and includes 16 contributions organised within the following four themes that were used at the 8th International Acid Sulfate Soils Conference held at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA from 17–23 July 2016:

  • Introduction and Background to Acid Sulfate Soils
  • Sulfidization
  • Sulfuricization (included the special symposium dedicated to the late Professor Udo Schwertmann)
  • Assessment and Remediation

The Managing Guest Editor, Martin Rabenhorst and Guest Editors Lee Daniels and Rob Fitzpatrick prepared a Preface, which provides a summary of the conference and highlights of the 16 papers.

The following series of 6 papers on Acid Sulfate Soils authored and/or co-authored by staff from the Acid Sulfate Soils Centre are included in the Geoderma Special Issue:
