Increasing awareness of the irreversible and long-lasting impacts of deterioration and pollution of soils and sediments has had an important influence on environmental policies and research in the last decade. The complexity of the soil and sediment systems and its processes cannot be tackled properly unless scientists from different disciplines work together. With this in mind, a number of multidisciplinary soil research programmes have been started in various European countries. They involve different disciplinary approaches and they aim at different fields of application - agriculture; land use and town and country planning; drinking water supply; and nature management. The results that are now appearing need to be integrated in a scientifically sound and useful way The first European Conference on Integrated Research for Soil and Sediment Protection and Remediation was intended to foster this. This volume contains the edited and selected proceedings of this Conference.
