About this book
Soils have always been under stress but, in the Anthropocene, mankind is in the driving seat. As a sequel to Soil Science Working for a Living: Applications of soil science to present-day problems, we consider issues of policy as well as soil genesis, attributes and functions in various environments, natural and man-made. We consider human impacts on the soil cover through its use and misuse, highlight methods of research and assessment of soil quality, and the threats of soil degradation. The distinguished contributors also describe and propose various options for evaluation andremediation of degraded soils, drawing on the latest methods of modelling and cartography as well as long-term field experiments and long experience.
The book will be invaluable to researchers and practitioners in soil science including graduate and post-graduate education, academics and professionals.
