Synopsis

The rapidly increasing world population has raised concerns regarding preservation of soil and arable land, soil degradation and increasing per capita food consumption. Soil is an essential natural resource for survival on the earth that is constantly being damaged due to human activities. In recent decades, soil science has emerged as a specialised discipline to study soil formation, soil classification and its properties. As an interdisciplinary field, soil science interests a wide range of academicians from different disciplines like geologists, archaeologists, microbiologists and many more. This book is a comprehensive account on soil formation and classification, fertility properties and management of soils. It is an excellent reference for students, researchers and professionals engaged in agriculture or related fields.
