Volume 165 contains six excellent reviews, which are timely and will be of interest to plant and soil scientists. Chapter 1 is a comprehensive review of the impacts of humans on urban soils. Chapter 2 discusses the role of endophytic fungi in affecting plant/ soil relations. Chapter 3 covers the application of pyrolysis GC/MS to assess molecular biomarkers in peat. Chapter 4 is a critique of "apparent" electrical conductivity in soil electromagnetic induction studies. Chapter 5 covers the important role that cover crops play in soil and water conservation, nutrient management, and climate change adaptation in the tropics. Chapter 6 reviews approaches for improving dense clay subsoils to increase yield of rain-fed crops.
