Excess phosphorus and nitrogen produced by human activities on neighboring land is making its way into our coastal waters and degrading both water quality and aquatic life. Although historically the priority has been to control phosphorus, Professor Hans Paerl, from the University of North Carolina in the US, argues that nitrogen imbalance is equally damaging. He adds that a dual nutrient strategy – tackling both phosphorus and nitrogen surplus - is necessary to manage effectively this nutrient over-enrichment...

Although rich in oil, gas, copper, iron, gemstones and other resources, years of deforestation, desertification, over-grazing and a quarter century of violence have ruined Afghanistan’s environment and economy. Additionally, security problems and a predilection for corruption at almost every level have led to it being ranked as the most difficult country in Southwest Asia to do business with. In a paper just published online in Springer’s GeoJournal, John Shroder proposes that the natural resources development...
