The dispersion of the plume from a sulphide smelter at Mount Isa, Australia, has been determined at distances of up to 1000km from the source. Simultaneous measurements by an airborne correlation spectrometer, flame photometer and aitken counter have allowed accurate…

Impacts of felling, mulching, and burning on budgets of C, N, S, P, K, Ca, and Mg; rates of CO2 evolution from the soil; soil seed storage; and plant growth were evaluated. The felled tropical evergreen forest was 8-9 yr old, interspersed with patches of 70 yr old forest and had…
