  • Soil Classification

    A Global Desk Reference

    Edición de Hari Eswaran, Robert Ahrens, Thomas J. Rice, B.A. Stewart ...
    Developments in soil classification have accompanied parallel progress in our understanding of the soil system. However the theories behind the classifications and the purposes for which they were created have changed over time. The editors hope that this comprehensive synthesis will help to rally soil scientists around the world to develop an acce ... Leer más

  • Climate Change and Global Food Security

    Edición de Rattan Lal, Norman Uphoff, B.A. Stewart, David O. Hansen ...
    In order to feed their burgeoning populations, developing nations will need to double cereal production by the year 2050. This increase will have to come from existing land, as little potential exists for bringing new land under cultivation -- a daunting prospect when one realizes that increased use and significantly higher concentrations of carbon ...

  • Assessment Methods for Soil Carbon

    Edición de John M. Kimble, Ronald F. Follett, B.A. Stewart ...
    Since carbon sequestration in soils reduces the amount of carbon available to the atmosphere, the Kyoto Protocols have heightened interest in soil carbon pools and their effect on carbon fluxes. Assessment Methods for Soil Carbon addresses many of the questions related to the measurement, monitoring, and verification of organic and inorganic carbon ... Leer más

  • Soil Quality and Biofuel Production

    Edición de Rattan Lal, B.A. Stewart ...
    Series series Advances in Soil Science
    From its humble beginning in the late 19th century?when Henry Ford’s first car was designed to run on ethanol?biofuel production has been on the rise with more than 26 billion liters produced in the U.S. in 2007. Ethanol made from biomass (rather than grains) holds great promise, including numerous economic and environmental benefits. However, the adverse interactions of energy, climate, food, and ...

  • Food Security and Soil Quality

    Edición de Rattan Lal, B.A. Stewart ...
    Series series Advances in Soil Science
    Just five years ago, it was generally believed that the number of food insecure people in the world was on continuous decline. Unfortunately, widespread soil degradation along with resistance to recommended agronomic practices, and little attempt to restore degraded soils have conspired with significant droughts (in regions that could least tolerat ...

  • Methods for Assessment of Soil Degradation

    de Rattan Lal, Winfried E. H. Blum, C. Valentin, B.A. Stewart ...
    Series series Advances in Soil Science
    Soil degradation has serious global impacts on agronomic, economic, and sociopolitical conditions, however, statistics regarding the degree of these impacts has been largely unreliable. This book aims to standardize the methodology for obtaining reliable and objective data on soil degradation. It will also identify and develop criteria for assessing the severity of soil degradation, providing a ... Leer más

  • Soil Degradation and Restoration in Africa

    Edición de Rattan Lal, B. A. Stewart ...
    Series series Advances in Soil Science
    Soil degradation is a widespread problem in Africa resulting in decreased agricultural productivity while demand for food continues to increase. Degradation is caused by accelerated erosion, acidification, contamination, depletion of soil organic matter and plant nutrients, and salinization. The major cause of soil degradation in Africa is uncontrolled and excessive grazing in the savanna regions ... Leer más

  • Soil and Climate

    Edición de Rattan Lal, B. A. Stewart ...
    Series series Advances in Soil Science
    Climate is a soil-forming factor and soil can mitigate climate change through a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases and sequestration of atmospheric CO2. Thus, there is a growing interest in soil management practices capable of mitigating climate change and enhancing environmental quality. Soil and Climate addresses global issues through soil management and outlines strategies for ... Leer más

  • Global Climate Change and Tropical Ecosystems

    Edición de John M. Kimble, B.A. Stewart ...
    Tropical ecosystems - the regions between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn - play an important role in global processes, economic issues, and political concerns. In their natural state, tropical ecosystems support a large quantity of above- and below-ground biomass, and constitute a major part of the terrestrial carbon pool. Conversion of the natural ecosystem to agriculture and forestry ... Leer más
