| Publisher Description: Improving soil health is increasingly seen as the foundation for 'climate-smart' and more sustainable crop production based on agroecological principles. Improving soil health provides a comprehensive coverage of recent research on the effects of different management strategies on the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils. The collection offers an assessment of the key management strategies implemented as a means for improving soil health, crop yields and ecosystem productivity, including zero tillage, intercropping, crop rotation, cover crops and organic amendments. Edited by Professor William Horwath, University of California-Davis, USA, Improving soil health will be a standard reference tool for researchers in soil and crop science, government and other agencies monitoring the health of agricultural soils, companies providing soil monitoring and management services and farmers wishing to further their knowledge on the latest developments in soil monitoring. |
