Principles of Soil Management and Conservation comprehensively
reviews the state-of-knowledge on soil erosion and management. It
discusses in detail soil conservation topics in relation to soil
productivity, environment quality, and agronomic production. It
addresses the implications of soil erosion with emphasis on global
hotspots and synthesizes available from developed and developing
countries. It also critically reviews information on no-till
management, organic farming, crop residue management for industrial
uses, conservation buffers (e.g., grass buffers, agroforestry
systems), and the problem of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and in
other regions.
This book uniquely addresses the global issues including carbon
sequestration, net emissions of CO2, and erosion as a sink or
source of C under different scenarios of soil management. It also
deliberates the implications of the projected global warming on
soil erosion and vice versa. The concern about global food security
in relation to soil erosion and strategies for confronting the
remaining problems in soil management and conservation are
specifically addressed. This volume is suitable for both
undergraduate and graduate students interested in understanding the
principles of soil conservation and management. The book is also
useful for practitioners, extension agents, soil conservationists,
and policymakers as an important reference material."
