"What is soil? Where does soil come from? What is special about soil in the northern
latitudes? How do our activities affect soil? What are the links between soil and
climate change? The first ever Soil Atlas of the Northern Circumpolar Region uses
striking maps, informative texts and stunning photographs to answer and explain these
and other questions. Leading soil scientists from Europe, Russia, Canada, Greenland
and the United States of America have collaborated under the auspice of the International
Polar Year 2007-2009 to produce this unique document. Using state of the art computer
mapping techniques, the Soil Atlas of the Northern Circumpolar Region shows the changing
nature of soil in northern territories ; The Soil Atlas of the Northern Circumpolar
Region explains the origin and role of soil, describes the different soil types that
can be found in this environment and their relevance to global issues. The atlas also
discusses the possible impacts of climate change on soil and the relationship between
soil and global climate. The Soil Atlas of the Northern Circumpolar Region is more
than just a normal atlas. Rather, this volume presents an interpretation of an often
neglected natural resource that surrounds and affects us all."--pub. desc
