Encyclopedia of Meat Sciences, Third Edition, Three Volume Set is the most up-to-date reference work on topics central to agricultural and food science researchers at all levels. With over 250 outstanding articles written by world leading experts, the book offers unparalleled coverage of the science and technology of producing and harvesting animals for meat, along with tactics for preservation and processing. Clearly divided into 12 distinct sections, topics covered include all aspects of the production of animals, poultry, fish and other species commonly ‘farmed’ and/or ‘harvested’, as well as the science of meat preservation and processing and consumer issues. New to this third edition are chapters covering the core scientific advancements of recent years, including gene editing of animals, sustainability and zoonotic diseases. In addition, the book introduces a templatized chapter approach, thus providing consistency to the entire work and maximizing the clarity and accessibility of its content for the reader. Chapters, once again, include a variety of images, charts, graphs, and/or diagrams to enhance the text.

Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in Global Forests: Spatial Variation, Impacts, and Management Implications provides the most comprehensive knowledge on spatial variation and ecological impacts of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests, as well as forest management options to mitigate the negative impacts. Written and edited by international experts in the field, this book synthesizes recent research developments and insights in monitoring and modeling nitrogen deposition in global forests. The book also assesses ecological impacts of enhanced nitrogen deposition on forest structure and function and responses of forest ecosystems to decreasing nitrogen deposition in regions such as the European Union and North America. Finally, the book reviews indicators and thresholds for nitrogen saturation in global forests and analyzes remediation options to reduce impacts of excess nitrogen deposition. This is an important resource for researchers in forestry and biodiversity conservation, as well as graduate students, policymakers and others who want to understand environmental issues of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests.
