Vanishing Croplands.
Brown, Lester R.
Environment, v20 n10 p6-15,33 Dec 1978
Natural soil fertility is now declining on an estimated one-fifth of the world's croplands. Direct evidence of the mounting pressures on the global cropland base is seen in accelerating soil erosion, the spread of deserts, and the loss of cropland to nonfarm uses. (Author/BB)
