Description
"Useful and usable. . . . Planners, farmers, other agriculturists, and regulators can all benefit from the information and insights."--Curtis J. Richardson, Director, Wetland Center, Duke University The essays in this book pull together information on all aspects of the Everglades Agricultural Area that influence any water, soil, crop, or environmental management decision in the area--including legal and political verdicts. Their major emphasis is on water management practices, fundamental soil makeup, and plant production. Though the book explains the specific environmental processes that directly concern Floridians, it also deals with issues and conditions important to people everywhere who are interested in resource management.
