Book Synopsis Principles of Soil Conservation and Management by : Humberto Blanco-Canqui
Download or read book Principles of Soil Conservation and Management written by Humberto Blanco-Canqui and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-16 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Principles of Soil Management and Conservation” comprehensively reviews the state-of-knowledge on soil erosion and management. It discusses in detail soil conservation topics in relation to soil productivity, environment quality, and agronomic production. It addresses the implications of soil erosion with emphasis on global hotspots and synthesizes available from developed and developing countries. It also critically reviews information on no-till management, organic farming, crop residue management for industrial uses, conservation buffers (e.g., grass buffers, agroforestry systems), and the problem of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico and in other regions. This book uniquely addresses the global issues including carbon sequestration, net emissions of CO2, and erosion as a sink or source of C under different scenarios of soil management. It also deliberates the implications of the projected global warming on soil erosion and vice versa. The concern about global food security in relation to soil erosion and strategies for confronting the remaining problems in soil management and conservation are specifically addressed. This volume is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students interested in understanding the principles of soil conservation and management. The book is also useful for practitioners, extension agents, soil conservationists, and policymakers as an important reference material.

Book Synopsis Soil Degradation, Conservation and Remediation by : Khan Towhid Osman
Download or read book Soil Degradation, Conservation and Remediation written by Khan Towhid Osman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the grave consequences of soil degradation on ecosystem functions, food security, biodiversity and human health, this book covers the extent, causes, processes and impacts of global soil degradation, and processes for improvement of degraded soils. Soil conservation measures, including soil amendments, decompaction, mulching, cover cropping, crop rotation, green manuring, contour farming, strip cropping, alley cropping, surface roughening, windbreaks, terracing, sloping agricultural land technology (SALT), dune stabilization, etc., are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to soil pollution and the methods of physical, chemical and biological remediation of polluted soils. This book will lead the reader from the basics to a comprehensive understanding of soil degradation, conservation and remediation.
Book Synopsis Soil and Water Conservation Advances in the United States by : Teddy Michael Zobeck
Download or read book Soil and Water Conservation Advances in the United States written by Teddy Michael Zobeck and published by ASA-CSSA-SSSA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have agricultural management efforts begun in the desperation of the Dust Bowl brought us to where we need to be tomorrow? Questions about the environmental footprint of farming make this book required reading. Approximately 62% of the total U.S. land area is used for agriculture, and this land also provides critical ecosystem functions. Authors from each region of the continental United States describe the progress of soil and water conservation to date and visualize how agricultural production practices must change in future years to address the newest challenges.

Book Synopsis Soil Conservation : Third Edition by : Norman W. Hudson
Download or read book Soil Conservation : Third Edition written by Norman W. Hudson and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Conservation is a key text not only for agricultural engineers, but also for students of agriculture, forestry, geography, geology and ecology indeed all those concerned with soil erosion. This new and fully revised edition of Normal Hudson s standard work. Gives information on recent advan- ces, including the greater emphasis on sound land use and farming methods, the importance of involvi-ng the farmer at all stages; the need for low-cost, low-labour methods. Shows how research, theory and practice can be applied in the developing countries. Presents the engineering approach to soil conservation in a simple, common-sense way. The text reflects the postgraduate course in soil conservation at Silsoe College, as taught to students from over 40 different countries. The result is a teaching text which will be of use in all countries where soil conservation is a major consideration in agricultural development. After 13 years as a Conservation Officer and Researcher in Africa, Norman Hudson taught for 20 years at Silsoe College (formerly the National College of Agricultural Engineering), a Faculty of Cranfield University, and now practises as a consultant. He has Lectured at universities throughout the world, and has studied soil conservation in more than 40 different countries. He has worked as a consultant for FAO, The World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, The International Found for Agricultural Development, and aid agencies of Britain, the USA and Sweden. Professor Hudson was the 1983 recipient of the Hugh Hammond Bennett Award, the highest professional honour made by the Soil Conservation Society of America, and the President s Citation in 1989. He is a past President of the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation, founder of the International Centre for Soil Conservation Information, and Founder Chairman of the Association for Better Land Husbandry. In 1993 he was awarded the OBE for services to soil conservation.
