SCOPE 54 - Phosphorus in the Global Environment. chap 1 Introduction (3114 words) |
 | One result of synthesising the information gathered during the SCOPE project on "Phosphorus cycles in terrestrial and aquatic environments" is the realisation that the term "P cycle" is not appropriate in the global context. |
| Current legislation may not address this problem effectively, although legislation to reduce the land application of P exists and is being tightened with planned substantial reductions in allowable P application to soils, and stricter controls on timing and management. |
| The stewardship required for intensive agricultural production that does not jeopardise the surrounding environment or the finite resources of rock phosphate (90 y of supply are predicted at current rock exploration and increasing crop production levels), demands sophisticated methods of soil and landscape conservation, and nutrient management and monitoring. |
| Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Geoff Howarth (458 words) |
| One of New Zealand's first fully professional cricketers, Geoff Howarth overcame many disappointments to become a successful Test batsman and an outstanding captain. |
| The younger brother of Hedley Howarth, Geoff was also a fine fielder and a useful offspinner. |
| In 1969 he started a long and frustrating apprenticeship at Surrey, and it was not until 1972-73 that he represented a New Zealand provincial side. |
