This book presents the soil pedodiversity in Libya. Soils are the
source of all life; there can be no life without them. Further,
each soil has its own history and its present conditions, which
have been shaped by many different factors (e.g. climate, biota,
parent material, and relief or topography). The book, divided into
eight chapters, provides extensive information on Libyan soils.
Chapter one provides an introduction and a broad perspective of the
subject, while Chapter two covers the history of soil mapping and
research in Libya. Chapter three focuses on local factors of soil
formation and describes the geology and climate of the region to
explain the diversity of its soils. Chapter four discusses soil
classification systems and those most commonly used in the country.
The fifth chapter illustrates the constraints and limiting factors
that negatively affect agricultural activities across the country.
The land cover/land use and the vegetation of the country are
described in Chapter six. In turn, Chapter seven presents the
status quo of soil biology, the corresponding related research
activities, and the other biological properties of Libyan soils.
The final chapter (Chapter eight) focus on land degradation and
desertification in Libya, emphasizing the main causes, impacts of
the phenomena, and efforts to combat it. This book demonstrates the
problems that the country is currently facing as a result of
climate change, soil erosion, salinization, and pollution, and
outlines potential remedies to improve local food security.
Bringing together the perspectives and expertise of many
distinguished scientists from various universities and institutions
in and outside of Libya, the book represents a unique and highly
valuable resource.
