"Soil Health and Climate Change" presents a comprehensive overview
of the concept of soil health, including the significance of key
soil attributes and management of soil health in conventional and
emerging land use systems in the context of climate change.
Starting with a review of the physical, chemical and biological
indicators of soil health and their significance for monitoring the
impacts of climate change, this book then focuses on describing the
role of soil structure, pH, organic matter, nitrogen, respiration
and biota in sustaining the basic functions of soil ecosystems, and
their anticipated responses to climate change. Further topics
include the management of cropping, pastoral, and forestry systems,
and rehabilitated mine sites, with a focus on mitigation of and
adaptation to climate change impacts. Finally, the opportunities
and potential risks of organic farming, biochar and bioenergy
systems, and their ability to sustain and even enhance soil health,
are discussed.
