Earthworms and land reclamation [PDF]
, 1983 The objectives of land reclamation range from restoration of derelict industrial wasteland for amenity purposes to improvement of infertile soils for agricultural production. The success of conventional reclamation techniques may be limited by poor soil structure and low inherent soil fertility.

Previous studies of the effects of land reclamation on the extent of seawater in coastal aquifers have assumed that the reclaimed area penetrates to the impermeable base of aquifer, and that the seawater in the aquifer is entirely contained within ...

Erosion is one of the most severe ecological problems in Iceland. It has been estimated that more than 50%o of the original vegetative cover has been lost since settlement in 874 and active erosion continues to be widespread throughout the country. Since its founding in 1907, the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (SCS) has emphasized control of wind

Fascist Italy was concerned with its dependence on imports of essential materials and with meeting as many of its needs as possible from domestic supplies. There was little that could be done in some spheres (coal and iron, for example), but the regime did seek to increase agricultural production in order to improve both the balance of payments and ...

ONE of the achievements of which Fascism can unreservedly be proud is the reclamation of great areas of land in Italy that for centuries had added little or nothing to the national wealth, and indeed had frequently, like the Pontine Marshes, been dangerous to human beings owing to the widespread prevalence of malaria.

Cash boost to land reclamation
Trends in Plant Science, 2001In collaboration with European colleagues, a team at the University of Southampton (UK) has recently received £100 000 for a three-year study to identify the genes that enable certain plants to accumulate and tolerate toxic metals. Although several plants have the ability to tolerate high levels of metals such as nickel and cadmium, they are generally ...
