Reviews current understanding of the mechanisms of soil erosion, focussing on water-based and wind-based erosion processes Considers the effectiveness of mitigation measures to reduce soil erosion, including buffer strips, zero/no-tillage and cover crops Addresses recent advances in techniques used to measure, predict, track and model soil erosion, including digital soil mapping and proximal instrumental techniques
Plant Growth Regulators to Manage Biotic and Abiotic Stress in Agroecosystems is a comprehensive book that explores the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) as effective stress-reduction techniques in agricultural environments.
Soil deterioration, loss of productivity, and increases in toxic elements in soil induced by rapid industrial development and intensive cultivation are posing a serious threat to global food security and environmental sustainability.
Considers a range of techniques used for measuring compliance and improving performance across the agri-food supply chain, including those used to measure on-farm carbon footprints and biodiversity Provides a useful and comprehensive context to the role of governments and other food safety agencies in setting safety, quality and sustainability standards for global agri-food supply chains Reviews the key issues in developing voluntary standards, focussing on those encountered during the development of robust carbon-neutral and biodiversity offsetting certification schemes
MicroRNA Advances and Application in Plant Biology presents a broad range of tools and techniques used for microRNA identification and utilization for diversity analysis in plants, crop improvement, and gene regulation.

Microbial Biostimulants for Plant Growth, Development and Abiotic Stress Amelioration provides readers with insights into the major role of biostimulants in plant growth and development while under abiotic stress.
For large-scale agroecosystems, patterns of pest population increases (graded increases or abrupt outbreaks) and declines (graded suppression or abrupt crashes) vary considerably and are influenced by factors within crop fields and across broader landscape scales.
Following its predecessors, Plant Roots: The Hidden Half, Fifth Edition is thoroughly updated and reports the major changes that have taken place in root research since the last edition published over 10 years ago.
Provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing agri-food supply chains, including the need to be more sustainable in light of the high environmental costs of global distribution Addresses the external factors that can impact the logistics and performance of supply chains, including political developments, international conflicts and pandemics such as COVID-19 Reviews the main agri-food supply chains used in different regions around the world, focussing on those implanted in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East
