Soil Degradation and Restoration in Africa: Advances in Soil Science
Editat de Rattan Lal, B. A. Stewarten Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 iul 2019
Perpetual neglect of the health of soils in Africa can exacerbate the already serious problems of food and nutritional insecurity and environmental degradation. Food and nutritional security of the growing population of Africa can only be achieved if degraded soils are restored and soils of agroecosystems are managed prudently and sustainably. Ignoring soils and taking the fragile, finite and precious soil resources for granted is the principal cause of poverty, hunger, and environmental degradation. The downward spiral must be reversed through soil restoration measures based on translating science into action.
This book describes the soils of Africa, processes of soil degradation, extent and severity of soil degradation, and the impacts of degradation processes on food and nutritional security.
Features:
- Explores the extent and severity of soil degradation in Africa
- Analyzes the cause–effect relationship between anthropogenic activities and soil degradation
- Reviews processes of soil degradation in Africa including erosion, salinization, nutrient depletion, and decline of soil organic matter
- Addresses the effect of climate change on soil degradation in Africa.
- Explains how soil degradation causes food and nutritional insecurity
