This book addresses the threats that hamper the achievement of
sustainable soil management: soil erosion by water and wind, soil
organic carbon loss, nutrient imbalance, salinization,
contamination, acidification, loss of soil biodiversity, surface
sealing, compaction and water logging. The specific focus is on
preventive and ameliorative strategies for sustainable soil
management.
The contributed volume assimilates the knowledge,
experience, and exciting aspects of soil carbon research in the
Indian Himalayan region. It includes different aspects and factors
associated with soil carbon sequestration in the region, one of the
biodiversity hot spots and highly vulnerable to climatic change
impacts. Information on different aspects of soil organic carbon
dynamics concerning adaptive land management practices and
anthropogenic impacts is covered. Further topics include applying
advanced tools and techniques to soil carbon vis-a-vis soil erosion
research. This book is of interest to researchers and policymakers
involved in soil carbon research and offer ideas to enhance the
soil carbon in the region concerned. In addition, the book will
provide up-to-date information for researchers interested in soil
carbon research for the maintenance of soil quality and fertility
in the climate-vulnerable Indian Himalayan region.
