I've started a bibliography at
http://www.csun.edu/~vasishth/Soil_Ecology_Biblio.htm, and would
appreciate any suggestions.
Specifically, I want to know what do we do to soils when we pave them
over? What would be the ecosystem effects of converting substantial
portions of urban impervious surfaces to permeable and porous
materials? (I have enough on the ground water recharge and storm
water runoff aspects of such a move, its the soil health component
that I want to get at.)
Incidentally, I'd also be interested in any pointers to understanding
the idea of soil diversity, and the argument that we are destroying
it at a planetary level.
Thanks,
