It presents cutting-edge research in soil carbonization, soil biodiversity, and vegetation. As a resource for strategies in maintaining various interactions for eco-sustainability, topical chapters address microbial response and soil health in relation to climate change, as well as soil improvement practices.
Understanding soil systems, including their various physical, chemical, and biological interactions, is imperative for regaining the vitality of soil system under changing climatic conditions. This book will address the impact of changing climatic conditions on various beneficial interactions operational in soil systems and recommend suitable strategies for maintaining such interactions.
Climate Change and Soil Interactions
enables agricultural, ecological, and environmental researchers to obtain up-to-date, state-of-the-art, and authoritative information regarding the impact of changing climatic conditions on various soil interactions and presents information vital to understanding the growing fields of biodiversity, sustainability, and climate change.- Addresses several sustainable development goals proposed by the UN as part of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development
- Presents a wide variety of relevant information in a unique style corroborated with factual cases, colour images, and case studies from across the globe
- Recommends suitable strategies for maintaining soil system interactions under changing climatic conditions
