Soil Conservation Management

Soil Conservation and Management comprehensively reviews the state of knowledge on soil. It discusses in detail soil conservation topics in relation to soil productivity, environment quality and agronomic production. Soil is one of our most important resources. We rely on good soil for farming, filtration systems and protection against harsh elements. Because of the overuse of land, soil erosion is now a global issue, but everyone can learn to protect our soil and help keep our planet healthy. Soil erosion occurs in two ways. Natural erosion comes from the disintegration of rocks or other materials over millions of years; accelerated erosion occurs with over-farming, soil removal and other human activities. Soil management is an integral part of land management and may focus on differences in soil types and soil characteristics to define specific interventions that are aimed to enhance the soil quality for the land use selected. Soil Conservation is one of the important agricultural sciences. There is great need for more real soil conservation teaching as soil conservation interest and action have developed progressively from year to year, demands for pertinent information in the form of suitable teaching material have mounted correspondingly. This book also gives various analytical techniques/methods together for evaluation of soil quality parameters.
