Terroir – Science Related To Grape And Wine Quality
June 2018, Vol. 14, No. 3
This special issue explores the physical environment that shapes the character and quality of wine, ranging from geology and soils to viticulture and climate. It also discusses some of the technological advances such as drones, remote sensing, and precision agriculture, that are revolutionizing the production of fine wine. The French have a word for all aspects of the wine environment, terroir, and this special issue of Elements explains to a general audience the modern understanding of terroir. It is common, although usually incorrect, to point to a single factor as the explanation: “It’s the soil.” “It’s the water.” “It’s the limestone.” Terroir is the integration of all individual factors that contribute to wine quality, and this is appropriately summarized by the phrase “in vino veritas”.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
