It's been suggested that around 12 million hectares of agricultural
land are affected by soil erosion each year. If the degradation of
the world's soil reservoir continues, many have estimated that this
could lead to a 30% reduction in global food production by 2040.
Understanding and preventing soil erosion provides a comprehensive
overview of recent research on understanding the mechanisms of soil
erosion, as well as the best practices for measuring, mapping and
modelling soil erosion risk in agricultural soils. The book also
considers the range of agronomic practices and techniques available
to mitigate future soil erosion, including the use of crop
residues, cover crops, buffer strips, soil stabilisers and
zero/no-tillage. In its detailed assessment of soil erosion, the
book succeeds in highlighting the potential future impact of
degraded soils on the quality, security and longevity of our global
food system if the problem of soil erosion isn't effectively
managed.
