Overview: Soil carbon sequestration can play a strategic role incontrolling the increase of CO.2. in the atmosphere and therebyhelp mitigate climatic change. There are scientific opportunities toincrease the capacity of soils to store carbon and remove it fromcirculation for longer periods of time. The vast areas of degraded anddesertified lands throughout the world offer great potential for thesequestration of very large quantities of carbon. If credits are to bebought and sold for carbon storage, quick and inexpensive instrumentsand methods will be needed to monitor and verify that carbon is

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This volume of the Methods in Molecular Biology series is entirely devoted to the study of steroid receptor biology. Steroid hormone receptors represent a powerful system for the study of both the most fundamental molecular mec- nisms of gene regulation and control and the gross physiological responses of organisms to steroid hormones. Research in this field has brought forth advances in the treatment of cancer, endocrine disorders, and reproductive biology, and allowed elucidation of the fundamental biological mechanisms of gene expr- sion. In Steroi
