About the Book
The soil is a fundamental constituent of the Earth's system, maintaining a careful state of equilibrium within the biosphere. However, this natural balance is being increasingly disturbed by a variety of anthropogenic and natural processes, leading to the degradation of many soil environments.
Soil Management provides a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the many problems, challenges and potential solutions, facing soil management in the twenty-first century. Covering a range of topics, including erosion, desertification, salinisation, soil structure, carbon sequestration,
acidification and chemical pollution, the book also develops a prognosis for the future of soil management in the face of growing populations and global warming.
