Table of Contents

This bibliography is similar to, but not the same as, the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) bibliography Agricultural Conservation Practices and Related Issues: Reviews of the State of the Art and Research Needs. Major differences include:

• Wider subject coverage. Instead of focusing on information that has already been synthesized, the dynamic bibliography covers specific studies on agricultural conservation practices.
• Improved timeliness. The print bibliography is by its nature limited to items published before its date of publication (c. 2004). However, the dynamic bibliography will always contain the most current information.
• Decreased depth. To improve precision, some relevant results may not be listed.
• Limited database coverage. While the print bibliography contains citations retrieved from several databases, the dynamic bibliographies use only AGRICOLA.
• For more information, see About These Bibliographies.

This bibliography is similar to, but not the same as, the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) bibliography Data and Modeling for Environmental Credit Trading. Major differences include:

• Wider subject coverage. Instead of focusing on data and modeling issues, the dynamic bibliography covers all aspects of environment credit trading. In addition, the dynamic bibliography also includes issues related to water rights trading.
• Improved timeliness. The print bibliography is by its nature limited to items published before its date of publication (c. 2004). However, the dynamic bibliography will always contain the most current information.
• Decreased depth. To improve precision, some relevant results may not be listed.
• Limited database coverage. While the print bibliography contains citations retrieved from several databases, the dynamic bibliographies use only AGRICOLA.

About These Bibliographies

What is a dynamic bibliography?

A dynamic bibliography is the result of a predefined search strategy run against a bibliographic database. The term "dynamic" refers to the fact that a new bibliography is generated each time a search is run, so the bibliography's records are always up-to-date.

Please be aware that these bibliographies are not comprehensive. When creating any search strategy, there must be a trade-off between precision (retrieving only relevant results) and comprehensiveness (retrieving all relevant results). We have opted towards precision, which means that the number of irrelevant results should be at a minimum. However, it also means that there may be relevant results that are not listed.

You will have the option of generating bibliographies from two sections of the AGRICOLA database. The "Article Citation Database" will retrieve citations to journal articles indexed by the National Agricultural Library, while the "NAL Catalog" will retrieve records for books and other resources held by the National Agricultural Library. For more information about AGRICOLA, see http://agricola.nal.usda.gov/help/aboutagricola.html.
