Managing Soil Quality: Challenges in Modern Agriculture

Managing Soil Quality: Challenges in Modern Agriculture

In the book, leading soil scientists discuss the history and concept of soil quality, and chemical (acidity, P, N, K), biological (organic matter dynamics, microbial activity, and soil biodiversity), and physical (subsoil compaction, erosion) aspects of soil quality. Recent policy research suggests...

Zusammenfassung:In the book, leading soil scientists discuss the history and concept of soil quality, and chemical (acidity, P, N, K), biological (organic matter dynamics, microbial activity, and soil biodiversity), and physical (subsoil compaction, erosion) aspects of soil quality. Recent policy research suggests that even within Sub-Saharan Africa, differences in population density, market access, and agroecological conditions give rise to widely differing soil management challenges and opportunities.
