About this Item

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The present publication provides an extensive summary of the most current analytical techniques for evaluating crucial indicators of soil health, such as physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Unlike many existing soil analysis manuals that mainly concentrate on basic chemical and physical properties, this book highlights the significance of soil health assessment. Literary sources suggest that indicator parameters, including soil carbon pools, soil aggregation behavior, aggregate-associated carbon content, and biological activity, are increasingly being employed to monitor shifts in soil quality and soil health over time. The analytical protocols for these parameters can be located in several research journals. This book is a necessary reference for researchers, postgraduate students, academics, and policymakers operating in the disciplines of Soil Science, Agronomy, Natural Resource Management, and Forestry. 112 pp. Englisch.

About this title

Synopsis

This book describes latest analytical procedures of key soil health indicators including physical, chemical and biological parameters. Most of the Soil Analysis manuals currently available, primarily deal with basic chemical and physical properties without giving emphasis on soil health assessment. However, literature shows indicator parameters such as soil carbon pools, soil aggregation behaviour, aggregate associated carbon content and biological activity are increasingly being used for monitoring the change in soil quality / soil health over a period of time. Analytical protocols in respect of these parameters are presently available in different research journals. This book compiles the procedures for the soil health indicator parameters including those being used of late for monitoring soil quality/soil health. This book is useful for researchers, post graduate students, academicians and policy makers in the fields of Soil Science, Agronomy, Natural Resource Management and Forestry.
