The Critical Zone
October 2007, Vol. 3, No. 5
The Critical Zone (CZ) encompasses all fluid, mineral, gaseous, and biotic components from the outer envelope of vegetation down to the lower limit of groundwater. It supports much of life on Earth. Important, relevant societal challenges related to CZ science to be addressed in the next decade are: (1) what processes control fluxes of carbon, particulates, and other reactive gases into and from the CZ? (2) how do weathering processes in the CZ nourish ecosystems? (3) how do chemical and physical weathering processes shape the CZ? and (4) how do biogeochemical processes in the CZ govern long-term sustainability of water and soil resources?

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.
