This is the first of two volumes that together provide a global overview of the impact of agriculture on soil degradation, tracing the most critical drivers like the use and abuse of agrochemicals, mechanization, overgrazing, irrigation, slash and burn agriculture, and the use of plastics.
This book presents an analysis of land and water resources in Siberia, initially characterizing the landscapes, their ecosystems, crucial processes, human impacts on soil and water quality, and the status quo of available research.
This book conceptualizes a revolutionary idea based on a mechanistic-mathematical model in which the "e;Buffer Power"e; of the principal and problematic nutrients like phosphorus, potassium and zinc is quantified.
This book reviews the occurrence and fate of pesticides in soils, their impact on soil quality and soil ecosystems, and it also provides a comprehensive overview of the latest prevention and remediation strategies of soil contamination.
This book provides an overview of the current development status of remediation technologies involving electrochemical processes, which are used to clean up soils that are contaminated with different types of contaminants (organics, inorganics, metalloids and radioactive).
This edited volume focuses on the core aspects of sugarcane production-management under stressful environments as well as innovative strategies for augmenting crop growth & productivity through intrinsic and extrinsic manipulations.
This book presents an important discussion on soil and sustainable agriculture from a range of perspectives, addressing key topics such as sustainable intensification, the FAO Voluntary Guidelines, and the crucial role of appropriate tenure rights.
Inputs of nitrogen to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have increased several-fold over the last one hundred and fifty years, with the steepest increases during the last four decades.
This book gathers selected proceedings of the annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society, and covers various aspects of soil dynamics and earthquake geotechnical engineering.
The introduction of synthetic organic chemicals into the environment during the last few decades has given rise to major concern about the ecotoxicological effects and ultimate fate of these compounds.
In this spirit, the ATMSS International Workshop "e;Advances in Laboratory Testing & Modelling of Soils and Shales"e; (Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland; 18-20 January 2017) has been organized to promote the exchange of ideas, experience and state of the art among major experts active in the field of experimental testing and modelling of soils and shales.
This curated book addresses, in the scholarly realm, the problems of soil degradation and provides some practical solutions for them to save soil life.
The accumulation of large amounts of ash from fossil fuel combustion for electric power generation is becoming a major environmental concern in the United States.
Every spring, the University of Massachusetts - Amherst welcomes all 'Soils Conference"e; Scientific Advisory Board members with open arms as we begin the planning process responsible for bringing you quality conferences year after year.
Earthwork projects are critical components in civil construction and often require detailed management techniques and unique solution methods to address failures.
Several textbooks and edited volumes are currently available on general soil fertility but to date none have been dedicated to the study of "e;Sustainable Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Soil.
Boron is one of the essential micronutrients for higher plants growth and development, and more and more studies have been conducted to establish boron as an essential element in animals and humans.
This updated second edition textbook explains the different technologies of agronomy to achieve a more sustainable agriculture, for undergraduate and graduate students of agronomy.
Guidelines for Surveying Soil and Land Resources promotes the development and implementation of consistent methods and standards for conducting soil and land resource surveys in Australia.
