Abstract
Population growth and rapid urbanization in China have intensified competition for land use, with consequences for agricultural productivity, water use allocation, and soil and water quality. Sustainable management and effective remediation technologies are needed in all regions of China. Similar problems exist in the United States, due, for example, to urban sprawl and pressures to increase biofuel production driven by government subsidy programs. As globally dominant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, China and the United States also have a mutual interest in understanding their consequences.To discuss current research on soil and water resource sustainability issues and to promote bilateral collaboration in research and graduate education between U.S. and Chinese institutions, a workshop was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Institute of Applied Ecology.
